La Crosse ATV Accident Lawyers

Representing Victims of Serious ATV Accidents in La Crosse, WI

While all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are a common sight in the La Crosse area, they can also be highly dangerous. ATVs are not designed for on-road use, and riders can easily lose control on paved surfaces. In addition, ATVs are prone to rollovers and other stability issues, and riders who are not wearing helmets can suffer serious head injuries.

At Bye, Goff & Rohde, we represent individuals and families in ATV accident claims. If you or a loved one is suffering due to a severe ATV accident, we can help you seek just compensation. With nearly five decades of legal experience, our La Crosse ATV accident attorneys have recovered hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation for accident victims and their families.

What are Common Types of ATV Accidents?

ATVs are popular for recreation and work, but they can be dangerous and lead to various types of accidents. Here are some of the most common types:

• Rollover Accidents: Rollover accidents happen when an ATV tips over to the side or backward, often due to a high center of gravity or improper handling. These accidents are particularly dangerous and can occur on uneven terrain or during sharp turns.
• Collision with Obstacles: Collisions with obstacles like trees, rocks, or fences occur when an ATV rider misjudges distances or loses control, especially at high speeds. Poor visibility and inexperience can also contribute to these types of accidents.
• Ejection Accidents: Ejection accidents happen when a rider is thrown off the ATV due to a sudden stop, sharp turn, or collision. These incidents are more severe when the rider isn't wearing proper protective gear, such as a helmet.
• ATV-Vehicle Collisions: Collisions between ATVs and larger vehicles, like cars or trucks, often occur when ATVs are used on public roads or during road crossings. These accidents are dangerous due to the size difference between the vehicles.
• Overturning on Steep Slopes: When ATVs are driven on steep inclines, they can easily tip over, especially if the slope is too steep or the terrain is unsuitable. Overturning is more likely if the rider is inexperienced or the ATV is overloaded.
• Mechanical Failures: Accidents caused by mechanical failures, such as faulty brakes or steering, occur when ATVs are not properly maintained or have manufacturing defects. Regular maintenance is crucial to prevent these incidents.
• Passenger-Related Accidents: Carrying extra passengers on an ATV designed for a single rider can shift the vehicle's balance, making it harder to control and increasing the risk of rollovers. These accidents often happen due to overloading.
• High-Speed Accidents: High-speed accidents occur when riders lose control of the ATV while driving too fast, especially in open or rough terrain. Speeding increases the risk of severe injuries and is often linked to overconfidence.
• ATV-Related Drownings: ATV drownings can happen if a vehicle flips near a body of water or when attempting to cross water that's too deep. These accidents are typically the result of misjudging the terrain or driving too fast near water.
• Poor Visibility Accidents: Accidents in poor visibility occur when riders can't see obstacles or other vehicles due to darkness, fog, or dust. Inadequate lighting on the ATV and low-light conditions increase the risk of collisions.
