San Francisco ATV Crashworthiness Injury Lawyers
Cartwright - October 21, 2020 -
Serious all-terrain vehicle (ATV) accidents often happen due to the negligence of other parties, though the injured victim is the one who experiences serious injuries and losses. The San Francisco ATV Crashworthiness attorneys at The Cartwright Law Firm, Inc. helps injury victims in Northern California win the compensation they deserve.
What is Crashworthiness?
Crashworthiness refers to the ability of a vehicle to protect any occupants in the event of a crash or collision. According to California law, there are many requirements for those thrill-seekers wanting to drive ATVs, and this makes sense because ATV accidents can often lead to serious or even fatal injuries.
Each type of ATV accident is equally as dangerous and may result in the driver being thrown from the vehicle, or possibly, being crushed by the vehicle. Among ATV riders killed in crashes in a single year, 64 percent involved the ATV rolling over during the crash. Rollovers regularly result in life-threatening head injuries, and riders should never forget to wear a DOT-approved safety helmet. Even with a helmet and all safety precautions, however, crashes and injuries can still occur.
A few things to consider about the crashworthiness of ATVs is their overall safety. While ATV accidents can be caused by numerous unforeseen reasons, the following are some of the most common causes of ATV crashes:
- Brake failures
- Inadequate manufacturer safety instructions
- Poorly maintained all-terrain vehicle
- Neglected trails and/or roads
ATV accidents can happen anywhere and for a wide range of reasons. If an ATV does not have the proper crashworthiness, and that defect results in more severe injuries, the manufacturer of the ATV might be liable for some or all of the injuries you suffered.
