Boat, ATV, and UTV accidents can result in serious or catastrophic injuries and raise difficult questions about what caused the accident. Collisions, rollovers, unsafe operation, defective equipment, inadequate maintenance, and hazardous conditions can all contribute to an accident. Kennedy, Robbins, Yarbro & Henson, LC represents individuals and families affected by serious recreational-vehicle accidents and helps clients understand their rights and legal options.

Thorough Investigation of Boat, ATV & UTV Accidents

Recreational-vehicle accidents may involve multiple factors and more than one potentially responsible party. Our attorneys carefully examine how the boat, ATV, or UTV was being operated, the condition of the vehicle or watercraft, maintenance and inspection records, safety equipment, weather and environmental conditions, and the location where the accident occurred. We also review photographs, video, witness statements, accident reports, and other available evidence to help determine what happened.

Serious Injuries and Long-Term Consequences

Boat, ATV, and UTV accidents can cause traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, fractures, severe burns, internal injuries, amputations, paralysis, and permanent disabilities. These injuries may require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and ongoing care while also resulting in lost income and other financial challenges. We work to understand the full impact of an injury and identify the losses that may be included in a legal claim.

Determining Responsibility and Protecting Your Rights

Depending on the circumstances, potentially responsible parties may include the operator or owner of a boat, ATV, or UTV, a manufacturer or dealer, a company responsible for maintenance, a property owner or other party responsible for the area where the accident occurred, or others whose conduct contributed to the accident. Every case is different, and determining responsibility requires a careful review of the facts and available evidence. Kennedy, Robbins, Yarbro & Henson, LC helps injured individuals and families understand their legal options and pursue the compensation they may be entitled to.
