ATV Accident Lawyers – Edgar Law Firm
All terrain vehicles (ATVs) have become dangerous recreational toys that claim thousands of innocent lives each year. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), ATV accidents lead to nearly 150,000 serious injuries annually — more than any other product the agency currently regulates. Due to lack of safety regulations, faulty design and reckless behavior, ATV injuries often lead to life-changing medical conditions, including paralysis, closed brain injury, spinal cord injury, amputation and, in many cases, death.
If you have been injured in an ATV accident, you should contact an Edgar Law Firm personal injury attorney to learn about your legal right to compensation.
ATV Accidents in Santa Rosa / Napa
An ATV is a motorized three- or four-wheel vehicle that can weigh up to 1,000 pounds and reach speeds of up to 60 miles per hour. These dangerous features, in conjunction with often faulty design (including a narrow wheel base), significantly contribute to lack of stability and safety. ATV defects have led to many successful product liability claims against the manufacturers. ATVs are most frequently associated with two types of defects:
- Design defect
- Manufacturing defect
Due to these defects, failure to warn of potential risks and/or failure to recall defective products, in many ATV accident cases the manufacturer can be held liable for damages and injuries sustained by the operator.
However, product liability cases filed against manufacturers, who are often represented by powerful defense attorneys, can be quite complicated, which could significantly affect the outcome of your claim. Such cases require specific legal knowledge and expertise by an experienced Edgar Law Firm ATV accidents attorney.
