ATTORNEYS REPRESENTING INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE BEEN INJURED IN ATV WRECKS IN OLDHAM COUNTY KENTUCY
Because of the unique and rugged terrain of our area, ATVs and ATCs have become extraordinarily popular in the State of Kentucky. And while they can be a very entertaining mode of transportation, the risk of personal injury to all terrain vehicle drivers and passengers is extraordinarily high. The personal injury firm of Thomas, Dodson & Wolford, PLLC represents individuals who have been injured in ATV and ATC accidents.
Inherent Dangers in ATV Usage and Safety
Part of the appeal to all terrain vehicles is that they are open to the elements. However, their minimal construction offers little protection to the operator and passengers. Unfortunately, a great many people who are injured in ATV wrecks are children. The American Academy of Pediatrics has made the following safety recommendations for parents of minors who operate ATVs and ATCs:
- The operator should have a valid driver’s license.
- Passengers should not be allowed on the vehicle.
- Riders should wear helmets, eye gear, and reflective clothing.
- Street use of off road vehicles should not be allowed.
- Flags should be attached for increased visibility.
- Riders should not operate their vehicles after drinking alcohol or while on medication.
It’s important to note that no matter how cautious an ATV driver is in the operation of his or her vehicle, there is no way to ensure that other drivers will be as careful. When you’ve been injured in a recreational vehicle wreck, the personal injury attorneys of FHi John,
