While first designed as a replacement for horses for work-related use on farms, all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) have become an increasingly popular source for outdoor leisure and sporting activities. While you may think four wheels are more stable and safer than two, ATVs or quads can be unstable and difficult to control. They are also heavy -weighing 350 to 800 pounds, depending on the model. As such, accidents involving quads can result in life-changing injuries.
Operator negligence, environmental hazards, poor vehicle maintenance, and manufacturing defects regularly cause ATV accidents. If you were hurt this way, the Stockbridge personal injury lawyers from Kaine Law can help you build a case and pursue a compensation claim.
Who Is Liable in ATV or Quad Bike Accidents?
To seek compensation for an ATV accident, you will need to prove another party was negligent in some way. Negligence means a person or organization failed to keep you reasonably safe, which caused the accident resulting in your injuries. Liable parties can include:
- The vehicle driver or owner
- A quad bike rental company
- An ATV part or vehicle manufacturer
- Landowners of private property, in some cases
It can be difficult to determine who is at fault and whether or not there is insurance coverage available to pay for your injuries and other losses in ATV accidents. This is because ATVs are usually insured separately under a typical auto insurance policy. Further, in some cases, a homeowner’s insurance may provide coverage in the event of an accident.
If the accident occurred on private land and the terrain was not maintained properly, you may be able to pursue compensation from the landowner. Similarly, if your injuries were caused by a defective ATV vehicle or part, you may be able to file a case against the manufacturer. Our personal injury attorneys will examine the facts of your case. If we find evidence that shows someone else was negligent, we can help you pursue your claim.

We Can Help You Pursue Financial Damages for Your Injuries
Injuries from ATV accidents can be life-changing. They can include bone fractures, brain injuries, permanent scarring, loss of limbs, spinal cord injuries, facial injuries, and dental trauma, to name but a few. The leading causes of injuries from ATV use stem from:
- Roll-over accidents
- A lack of personal protective equipment
- Collisions with fixed objects, other vehicles, or people
- Unsafe or reckless vehicle operation
- ATV operators or their passengers being ejected from the vehicle
- Mechanical defects or component failure
- Poor vehicle maintenance
- Accidents caused by hazardous terrain
Compensation Available in Quad Bike Accident Cases
If you or a loved one were injured in a quad bike accident, we will investigate the accident to learn what happened and determine your losses, such as:
- Current and future medical bills and rehabilitation costs
- Lost wages and compensation if your earning capacity is reduced due to your injuries
- Pain and suffering from physical pain and emotional distress
- Loss of quality of life
- Lost or damaged property
In fatal accidents, surviving close family members may be able to pursue a wrongful death lawsuit against another person or organization if their negligence caused the loss of a loved one.
