All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and Golf Carts offer fun and excitement, but they also come with risk. If someone gets injured while riding an ATV or Golf Cart, you may be wondering if you can recover for your injuries. At Becker Law Office, we help Kentucky accident victims understand their rights when it comes to ATV and Golf Cart injuries.
If someone is injured while riding an ATV on private property, you may be able to obtain compensation for your injuries depending on the circumstances. Factors such as negligence, lack of proper maintenance, or knowingly allowing an inexperienced or underage rider to use the vehicle can influence who is at fault.
An ATV or Golf Cart accident can include a rollover, collision with another vehicle or object, loss of control, or mechanical failure. Injuries can range from minor scrapes to serious head trauma, spinal injuries or death. Common causes include speeding, riding without safety gear, or riding on unsafe terrain. If alcohol, poor maintenance, or dangerous behavior is involved, liability can shift quickly.
If you or a family member are hurt on an ATV or Golf Cart, seek medical attention immediately. Document the scene with photos, gather witness statements, and report the incident if necessary. It’s critical to consult with an experienced personal injury attorney to protect your rights and determine the best course of action.
