All-terrain vehicles, also known as ATV’s are built to be driven on rugged terrain-thus their name. However, because the courses upon which they are driven are often so rugged and because they are often driven at high speeds and in an aggressive manner, injuries suffered in the course of riding an all-terrain vehicle can be serious. Broken bones that require hospitalizations or even surgeries are not uncommon occurrences for those who regularly use ATV’s. This can lead to costly medical bills. Often, the victims of ATV accidents also are forced to miss time from work in order to recover from their injuries and to heal. This also can lead to lost income for such ATV accident victims. You can, therefore, see that ATV accidents are not just fun and games. They can have serious consequences that can ruin someone’s life or result in the loss of life.

The Pascoe Law Firm knows the dangers riders of all ages face while riding ATV vehicles. Our law firm represents people who have been injured in Texas ATV accidents as passengers and children who have been injured in crashes when adults fail to supervise them. All Terrain Vehicle ATV Injuries Children riding all-terrain vehicles (ATV’s) are more likely to sustain a severe injury than their older counterparts. While it may be easy to blame young children for causing an accident, many mishaps are primarily due to the poor judgment of adults who are responsible for supervising their use. Children (under 16 years old) experience a disproportionate number of injuries when operating ATV’s.
