Frequently Asked Questions
What should someone do right after an ATV crash?
Call 911 immediately, avoid moving anyone who may have a spinal or head injury unless there is immediate danger, and wait for emergency crews to arrive and assess injuries.
How do road or trail conditions play a role in ATV crashes?
Loose gravel, uneven terrain, soft shoulders, and poor visibility can all make an ATV harder to control, especially at higher speeds or on rural roads not designed for off-road vehicles.
What are common injuries in ATV crashes?
Riders can suffer head and neck injuries, broken bones, and internal injuries, since ATVs offer little protection compared to enclosed vehicles and riders can be thrown from the seat.
Where do ATV crashes typically happen?
Many occur on rural roads, trails, or private property where ATVs are commonly used, particularly where speeds are higher or visibility is limited.
