Understanding Florida ATV Accidents

ATV accidents often result in severe, sometimes life-threatening injuries. Florida’s varied terrain attracts ATV enthusiasts year-round, but with the thrill comes significant risk. ATVs have a high center of gravity, making them prone to rollovers and loss of control.

Common causes of ATV accidents in Florida include:

  • Operator Error – Inexperience, lack of training, or reckless driving can easily lead to crashes.
  • Equipment Failure – Defective parts or poor maintenance may cause sudden malfunctions.
  • Unfavorable Terrain – Loose sand, uneven trails, or hidden obstacles can make safe operation difficult.
  • Inadequate Safety Gear – Riding without a helmet or protective padding increases the likelihood of serious injury.

The Legal Framework Surrounding ATV Accidents in Florida

Florida law, including Florida Statute § 316.2074, sets out safety rules for ATV use, including helmet requirements for riders under 16 and restrictions on public road operation. Failing to follow these regulations—or proving that another party failed to—can play a major role in establishing liability.

Our Orlando-based ATV accident attorneys are skilled in interpreting and applying these laws to protect the rights of clients throughout Florida.

Your Right to Compensation

If you’ve been injured in an ATV accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical Expenses – From emergency care to long-term treatment.
  • Loss of Earnings – Covering wages lost during recovery and reduced future earning capacity.
  • Pain and Suffering – Addressing both physical pain and emotional distress.
  • Loss of Enjoyment of Life – Compensating for the impact on daily activities and hobbies.
