ATVs can be dangerous, especially in inclement conditions. ATVs are meant for off-road recreation and entertainment, but when they are taken to the roads, they often cause serious crashes. A majority of ATV crashes could have been prevented if proper safety measures had been taken.

On average, 135,000 people are injured in ATV collisions each year. 700 people suffer fatal victims following an ATV crash. In some cases, surviving family members may be eligible to recover lost compensation for their injuries.
