Tampa All Terrain Vehicle Injury Lawyers
All terrain vehicles are relatively small but powerful motor vehicles with a variety of purposes. They are often used for transportation on ranches and farms, but have also become a popular recreational activity. Unfortunately, inexperienced users and factory defects have contributed to a high level of injury and even death related to these vehicles.
If you or a loved one has been hurt by a badly designed or produced ATV, you could have grounds for a legal claim. This would not only allow you to win compensation for your losses; it will also help to spread the news about a dangerously flawed product.

Dangerous ATV Defects
There are always certain risks involved in operating an ATV, especially for children under the age of 16. Sadly, these risks can be magnified if the vehicle contains a defect such as:
- An unbalanced design, increasing the risk of rollover accidents
- Defective steering or brakes
- An engine that is prone to explosions in accidents
- Easily broken or detached axels
- Defective safety equipment
The results of defects like these can be disastrous; in the year 2002, nearly 30,000 children were injured in ATV accidents (with various causes). Potential outcomes of an ATV accident can include:
- Bone fractures
- Burn injuries
- Spinal cord injury
- Head trauma
- Coma or even death
