Miami ATV Accident Attorney

All-terrain vehicles, or ATVs, are a common source of entertainment among teenagers throughout the state and provide adults with a way to haul heavy objects. ATVs provide a sense of freedom for adults and children alike, but also pose serious safety concerns, especially with the prospect of a dangerous accident. Many motor vehicle drivers often do not keep an eye out for ATV vehicles while driving along the roadways and serious accidents may occur due to their negligence. If you or someone close to you has been involved in an ATV accident, and if there were injuries involved, reach out to one of our Miami ATV attorneys so you can learn more about your legal options. You could be entitled to compensation due to your injuries.

ATV Accidents in Florida

In the year 2022, Florida reported over 200 ATV accident injuries, including 13 fatalities. ATVs are typically not driven on public highways, although ATVs remain at risk for serious accidents even while driving through a neighborhood. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reported that out of the approximately 100,000 injuries which were reported across the country from ATV accidents, 25 percent of these injuries involved kids under the age of 16.

Unfortunately, ATVs do not offer the passenger or driver much protection in case of an accident, and as a result, the subsequent injuries might be quite severe. Injuries that our Miami ATV accident lawyers have seen include:

The number of ATV accident fatalities peaked in 2006 at 832 throughout the country, although earlier reports from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission were not complete for years after 2009. Florida has unfortunately remained one of the top states for ATV fatalities, with the majority of all accidents occurring during the summer months.
