Get the Compensation You Deserve After an ATV Accident in McKinney

ATV accidents are a leading cause of serious injuries in the United States. Every year, hundreds of people are killed and thousands more are injured in ATV-related accidents. In many cases, ATV accidents are caused by the negligence of other parties, such as the owner of an ATV who negligently entrusted the vehicle to an unqualified driver, an adult not providing a safe helmet for a minor's use, a property owner who failed to maintain safe trails, or an ATV driver who drives negligently and hurts another ATV rider. If you have suffered an injury while using an ATV, a qualified personal injury lawyer can help you determine your options for pursuing compensation.

Common ATV Accident Injuries

ATV accidents can cause a wide variety of injuries, ranging from minor cuts and bruises to more serious injuries like broken bones and concussions. In some cases, ATV accidents are fatal.

One of the most common injuries suffered in ATV accidents is whiplash, which occurs when the head is suddenly snapped back and forth. This can damage the neck and spine, and it can lead to chronic pain and stiffness or numbness and tingling in the arms and shoulders. Traumatic brain injuries are also common, and they can occur if a person strikes their head on an object after an ATV rolls over or they are thrown from an ATV in a collision. Brain injuries can cause a wide range of long-term problems, including memory loss, difficulty concentrating, and mood swings. ATV accidents can also cause internal bleeding, which can be life-threatening if not treated immediately.

Causes of ATV Accidents

Most ATV accidents occur when an ATV overturns or collides with another vehicle. Rollovers are typically the most severe types of accidents because the ATV can land on top of the rider. Accidents may also occur due to loss of control on slopes or slick surfaces. Multiple parties may be responsible for an ATV accident, including:

• An ATV owner - A person who negligently loaned or rented an ATV to an unqualified driver, failed to ensure that the ATV was properly maintained and safe to use, or failed to provide a helmet to the user.
• An ATV operator - An ATV driver who negligently hurts another may be legally responsible for the victim's injuries.
• A property owner - ATV accidents may take place because trails were not properly maintained or were not safe to use. In these cases, injury victims may be able to pursue a premises liability claim.
• An ATV manufacturer - If parts on an ATV were defective, accident victims may be able to receive compensation through a product liability lawsuit.
• A negligent driver - In cases where an ATV collided with a motor vehicle, the driver of the vehicle may be liable for the victim's injuries for driving negligently.
