ATV stands for “all terrain vehicle”. These vehicles are small and powerful and are specifically designed to handle a wider variety of terrain than 2-wheeled vehicles of a similar size. ATVs often have 3 or 4 wheels, but some models with 6 wheels exist for certain specialized uses. A rider sits and operates an ATV similarly as one would a motorcycle, but the extra wheels give the ATV more stability at slower speeds. ATVs are often used for recreational purposes and can be used for work on ranches as well.
While riding an ATV can be an exhilarating experience, these vehicles can pose a unique danger to clients due to their tendency to roll over. An inexperienced rider or a manufacturing defect may lead to an ATV rollover. Another driver of an ATV may also collide with a rider and cause his or her vehicle to roll over. An ATV rollover can result in serious damage to the rider’s legs, back, head and neck. The weight of the vehicle as it rolls over and the lack of protection the rider is offered combine to cause the potential for catastrophic injury.
A Portland ATV rollover lawyer will have to work hard to prove that you were not at fault in your ATV accident. By working with experts in the field and conducting a thorough investigation of the evidence, reconstructing of the accident, interviewing witnesses and examining the ATV itself, a lawyer can work to find what caused the accident and how to prove that the ATV rollover was caused due to a manufacturing defect or another’s negligence. From there, your lawyer can then determine how to prove this to the insurance company or in civil court – allowing you to collect compensation for your injuries.
