Defective ATV
All Terrain Vehicles, or ATVs, are vehicles often used for recreation or for labor. There are
dangerous defects, however, that can often lead to ATV crash and catastrophic injuries.
ATVs are very popular in the rural parts of Southwest Florida, including Arcadia, DeSoto,
Hendry, Glades, Cape Coral, Clewiston, Felda, Lake Placid, Sebring, Moore Haven, Palmdale, Fort
Myers, Labelle, Lehigh Acres, Naples, Punta Gorda, Port Charlotte, North Port, Sarasota, Manatee,
and Venice.
Most cases involving an ATV
rollover or ATV crash involve design defects in the ATV, including:
- Having a high center of gravity
- Small wheels and
- Narrow wheel base
- Failure of the retailer to provide the
proper instructions
- Inadequate occupant protection in the
event of a rollover
- Occupant cab
intrusion
Some ATVs are designed in such a manner that they have a propensity to roll
over. The propensity of an ATV to rollover, combined with inadequate operator or passenger
protection in the event of a roll over, often results in catastrophic injuries, including spinal
cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and death.
It is crucial that the evidence --
including the wrecked ATV -- be preserved. Make every effort to obtain and preserve the defective
ATV and its parts. The defective ATV and its parts may be critical for forensic inspection and
examination.
