Other Vehicle Accidents
ATV crashes cause serious injuries on Minnesota trails and rural land. Learn about liability and recovery.
A Popular but Risky Activity
All-terrain vehicles are popular across rural Minnesota, but rollovers, collisions, and ejections cause serious injuries, particularly when operators are inexperienced or impaired.
Potential Liability
Depending on the circumstances, another operator, a landowner, or a manufacturer of a defective vehicle may be liable. Alcohol involvement can strengthen a claim against an impaired operator.
Common Injuries
ATV crashes frequently cause fractures, head injuries, and spinal damage. Helmets reduce but don't eliminate the risk of serious harm.
Investigate Promptly
Trail and terrain conditions, mechanical issues, and witness accounts all matter. Prompt investigation supports an ATV injury claim.
