ATV Accidents in Hernando County
As fun as offroading through the mud or woods can be, riding an ATV can also be dangerous and even deadly. Florida is #6 in the country for ATV deaths, with thousands of more injuries occurring every year. UTVs, or utility task vehicles, are also dangerous; the main difference is that drivers of these vehicles sit in a bucket seat versus straddling the machine, and use a steering wheel instead of handlebars. So what contributes to injury or death on an ATV or UTV?
- ATV companies allowing rentals regardless of experience and age
- Collision with another ATV or motor vehicle
- Operating off trails or on poorly maintained trails
- Failure to use a helmet and other safety gear or faulty safety gear
- Poorly maintained/defective vehicles
- Reckless riding, DUI, or operating at unsafe speeds
- Riders operating on paved roads meant for cars and trucks
- Carrying extra passengers on a single-rider vehicle
If you’ve been involved in an ATV accident through no fault of your own, or even if you may share just partial blame, Lowman Law Firm’s Hernando County ATV accident attorneys can help.
Who’s At Fault?
Put Our Hernando County ATV Accident Injury Lawyers On the Case!
ATV cases revolve around determining which party breached their duty of care, meaning they failed to uphold measures that would reduce the risk of harm. Unfortunately, who’s at fault isn’t always clear, but before you can proceed with a legal case to get compensation for injuries, a party must be identified as legally responsible for the ATV accident injury. This may include:
- The ATV manufacturer
- The driver of another ATV or motor vehicle
- The private owner or government agency responsible for maintaining safe ATV trails
- The repair shop responsible for work on the ATVs
- The ATV rental company
Even if you were partially at fault for the accident, you may still be able to collect some compensation (and if a settlement is presented, it may be a lowball offer). Your best bet, then, is to contact the experienced Hernando County ATV accident lawyers at Lowman Law Firm. We will help you:
- Determine how to handle filing a claim based on the determination of what caused the ATV accident.
- Understand the potential compensation you may receive for your injuries.
- Keep in contact with you during your case, providing your attorney’s cell phone number so you can reach out directly anytime.
- Obtain all documentation available to support your injury case including medical bills and physician testimony.
- Collect any available evidence related to your accident, including any proof that the other party is at fault when possible.
- Defend your rights throughout the legal process, and we do not collect a fee unless you win!
