ATV-ing is a popular activity for outdoor enthusiasts in Ontario, thanks to the province’s endless trails and wilderness. Although the pastime is enjoyable, there are still major risks associated with these recreational vehicles. Between the years of 2004 and 2008, the number of registered off-road vehicles increased substantially — and subsequently, so did the number of ATV accidents.
Hundreds of people are injured or killed in ATV collisions. Victims of ATV accidents can suffer serious injuries such as spinal cord damage, brain trauma, serious orthopaedic injuries, or broken limbs. The injuries require substantial medical support, and cause extreme pain and suffering.
If you are involved in an ATV accident, our personal injury lawyers can help you take immediate action. We will inform you of your rights, help you file your claim with the insurance company, and assist you with taking legal action against the culpable party. Ontario’s laws entitle ATV accident victims to seek accident benefits and to sue for damages. We will ensure that your losses are compensated. There is often a deadline involved in reporting an ATV accident, so be sure to contact us as soon as possible.
