All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are motorized vehicles that are operated outdoors for both recreational and work activities.  Examples of common ATVs are dirt bikes, 3-wheelers, and 4-wheelers.  ATVs are fun and exciting to operate, but they can also be extremely dangerous.  ATVs can travel at speeds of up to 60 mph and can weigh up to 1,000 pounds.  Since most ATV accidents involve high speeds and rollovers, many of these accidents result in serious damage or even death.  

Many ATV’s have been recalled by their manufacturer because of defects in the ATVs.  You may have a products liability claim against the manufacturer of the ATV if you are the victim of an accident involving an ATV.  Also, if an accident involving an ATV is the fault of another person, you may also be able to recover damages from that individual because of his or her negligence.
