Common ATV Injuries In Santa Ana

ATV riders involved in accidents often suffer serious injuries requiring extensive medical care. Some of the most common injuries in ATV accidents include:

• Traumatic brain injuries. A severe burn could result in the loss or the use of limbs or the ability to control bodily functions. Some burns can even be deadly. Reach out to our Santa Ana burn injury lawyers after a brain injury.
• Spinal cord injuries. The spinal cord carries signals between the brain and the rest of the body, and spinal cord injuries leave permanent damage. Unlike other parts of the body, the spinal cord cannot repair itself. A wound low on the spine may lead to the loss of the use of one’s legs. A wound closer to the skull may leave the victim completely paralyzed. Our Santa Ana spinal cord injury lawyers can help bring your injury claim.
• Broken bones. Bone fractures are very painful wounds that can sometimes lead to long-lasting nerve damage and reduced mobility.
• Internal organ damage. An ATV accident can cause serious injuries to the internal organs, requiring several surgeries and rehabilitation.

If your accident and following injures are the result of a part malfunction on your vehicle, please reach out to our Santa Ana product liability lawyers today!

Proving Liability and Collecting Damages for Your Santa Ana ATV Accident

After an ATV accident, an injured rider can secure various types of compensation through a personal injury claim. If the victim’s injuries are extensive, he or she may need to rely on a family member to handle legal issues during recovery. After the plaintiff receives a full medical report, the next step in securing compensation is to contact a reliable ATV accident attorney to start building a case.

If another ATV rider caused the accident, the injured plaintiff will need to prove his or her negligence to succeed with a claim. Proving negligence requires showing the court a defendant owed the plaintiff a duty of care, violated that duty, and directly caused the plaintiff’s damages. If a defective ATV or part of an ATV caused the accident, the injured plaintiff will need to file a product liability claim against the manufacturer.
