Common Causes of ATV Accidents in Houston

ATV crashes often occur because the vehicle is unstable, used improperly, or operated in unsafe conditions. In many situations, driver error, road hazards, or mechanical defects contribute to the accident.

ATVs can become dangerous when driven on pavement, operated at unsafe speeds, or used without proper protective gear. Additional causes include too many riders on a single ATV, lack of experience, careless operation, or driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Defective vehicles and negligent drivers also frequently play a role.

What Injuries Result From ATV Accidents?

ATV accidents often lead to severe injuries because riders lack physical protection, and the vehicles can flip or crush occupants during a rollover. Common injuries include:

Because these injuries can result in extensive medical care and long-term financial consequences, pursuing compensation is essential for protecting your health and future.

Who Can Be Held Liable for an ATV Accident?

Determining who is responsible for an ATV crash requires a detailed review of the accident scene, vehicle condition, and rider behavior. Liability depends on who contributed to creating or failing to prevent the dangerous situation.

Potentially liable parties may include the driver of the ATV, the ATV’s owner, the manufacturer of the vehicle, a defective parts manufacturer, or the person or company responsible for maintenance. Because multiple parties may share responsibility, a lawyer must investigate the scene, review maintenance and manufacturing records, and examine available insurance coverage.

FAQs

What should I do after an ATV accident?

Seek medical care immediately, preserve the ATV if possible, take photos of the accident scene, gather witness information, and contact an attorney before speaking with insurers.

Can I file a claim if the ATV was defective?

Yes. If a mechanical defect caused or contributed to the crash, the manufacturer or parts maker may be held liable through a product liability claim.

What if another rider caused the accident?

You may file a claim against the negligent rider, the ATV owner, or any party responsible for creating unsafe conditions.

Can I recover compensation if I was not wearing protective gear?

Yes. Lack of safety gear does not automatically prevent recovery, though insurers may attempt to use it to reduce compensation. A lawyer can help challenge these arguments.
