ATV Accidents

All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) are 3 or 4 wheeled motorized vehicles used for off-road riding and have gained in popularity in the last decade. In many ways, these vehicles are ideal for recreation, rescue efforts, and quick, easy transportation in off-road areas. Unfortunately however, over 6,000 fatalities occurred from injuries associated with ATVs in the last two decades, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). In 2008, 410 people were killed in ATV accidents and another 135,100 people were sent to emergency rooms with injuries. Tragically, approximately 30% of all the people involved in ATV accidents are children.

Because three-wheeled ATV put so many people in the hospital, the ATV manufacturers, under pressure from the federal government, agreed to stop producing three-wheeled ATVs, but did not recall the 2.4 million defective ones that had been already sold. Many of these extremely dangerous ATVs remain in use today.
