About ATV Accidents
All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) motorized vehicles having three or four wheels, which are used for work or recreational activities. ATV’s, known as three-wheelers, four-wheelers or gators, can weigh as much as a quarter of a ton. ATV's are powerful machines that can reach speeds up to 55 miles per hour. There are three different classes of all terrain vehicles, each identified by their size and weight. It is NOT legal to operate any ATV class on Georgia public roads.
Government officials are slow in their attempts to regulate ATV use, and injuries and deaths are on the rise. The biggest growth in injury statistics are amongst kids under the age of fifteen. These drivers are twice as likely to lose control of their ATVs than are licensed drivers. Typically these include broken bones, spinal cord injuries and/or paralysis, traumatic brain injuries, and death. One reason for the rising injury and death rates is the fact that ATVs are becoming heavier and faster than before, without the addition of safety devices such as seat belts, helmet usage and roll cages.
ATV accidents often occur because a driver is inexperienced, and is not able to predict or navigate potential hazards. ATV rollovers are caused by riding on uneven surfaces and turning too quickly in most cases. They can also be caused because of hitting an obstruction or having a blown tire. Riding in uncleared fields is not recommended because of the lack of visibility.
