Recreational Vehicle Accidents

Injuries and fatalities from recreational vehicles happen all too often. Recreational vehicles include boats, ATVs, cruise ships, dirt bikes, jet skis, and more. Here are some statistics:

ATVs cause 130,000 injuries and several hundred deaths each year
Pleasure boats cause more than 3,000 injuries and 700 deaths each year
Personal watercrafts like jet skis cause almost 50 percent of water vessel injuries and deaths each year

Unfortunately, the majority of those who are injured or die from accidents are children. To stay safe when operating recreational vehicles, make sure:

You wear a helmet, life vest, and other safety apparel
You have a license or proper training
You don’t operate the vehicle after consuming alcohol
You follow all safety rules
You don’t drive aggressively or in excess of speed limits

If you or a loved one is injured by a recreational vehicle, it is important to understand your rights. Many states have different rules and regulations regarding recreational vehicles and legal claims, and a personal injury attorney can help answer your questions and get you compensation for your medical and other expenses.
