All-terrain vehicles have been manufactured for decades, and many regulations have been passed in some states – but other states still allow essentially anyone to hop on and ride them. Part of this lax attitude can be attributed to the fact that the riders are not on city streets and do not pose a danger to other drivers. There are essentially no rules of the road when off-roading; most yielding and right-of-way choices are due to courtesy and etiquette. Of course, merely because the vehicles are not driven on the road does not mean they are not privy to the same types of accidents and problems. In fact, many ATVs are manufactured equally as poorly as some kinds of automobiles. There have been various recalls of such ATVs in the past stemming from thousands of injuries and hundreds of deaths. Arctic Cat is one such company that has had to recall numerous ATVs it manufactured. If you have been hurt in an accident with an Arctic Cat off-road vehicle, contact the Downtown LA Law Group for more assistance filing a lawsuit.
ATVs are not meant to be driven by people with no experience, especially because they are not exactly like automobiles or bikes. They should be operated by people who have undergone safety training and have driven the vehicles under supervision in controlled, safe environments. Most riders do not bother with this, though, and instead choose to ride as they wish. As a result, accidents happen. The most common causes of ATV accidents include:
These are primarily user issues that can be corrected by simply driving with more caution or not riding altogether. However, there are other reasons that ATVs can crash – defects with the vehicle. There are numerous ways that ATVs can be defective; a few include:
These defects may be present from the moment the ATV was designed or sold. If you were injured in an ATV accident because the vehicle had defects, you could take legal action against the company, especially if a recall were issued.
Each year, more than 100,000 individuals are injured in ATV accidents. There are also hundreds of deaths, most being of individuals under the age of 18 years old. It is crucial that you do all you can to stay safe on ATVs. Injuries that can occur include:

Arctic Cat manufacturers various vehicles meant for off-roading. The vehicles come in different types, from quad bikes to ROVs. Over the years, Arctic Cat has had to recall vehicles for defects and issues. Summaries of some recalls can be found below:
For both recalls, Arctic Cat offered free repairs for the suspension issues. However, repairs may not always be the wisest choice, as there can be other issues that are not apparent or that may pop up. If you were involved in an accident with any Arctic Cat Textron vehicle, you should not send the vehicle back to the company for a free repair. On the contrary, you should hold on to the vehicle so that you can file a claim.
If your Arctic Cat Textron off-highway vehicle was recalled for a crash hazard or you were in an accident involving the vehicle, you could take legal action against the company. This product liability lawsuit will allow you to recover damages from the company for their actions in manufacturing a vehicle that could cause accidents. In order to file a product liability claim, you must prove one of the following:
Arctic Cat Textron vehicles with broken or loose suspensions were likely manufactured that way, so they would fall under the second point. You should be aware of what kind of proof you will need in order to sue. The best evidence will include:
After an accident, it is extremely important that you go to the doctor for medical help, but it is also important that you do not return the ATV to the company for a repair or replacement. You must hang on to the ATV for as long as possible so that it can be used as evidence. You also should not try to fix the defect yourself; doing so will make it essentially impossible to prove what the defect was beforehand and what kind of damages you may have caused. The opposing insurance agent will claim that the accident happened after you tinkered around, and the company cannot be held accountable. If you wish to file a product liability lawsuit against Arctic Cat, you should hire an attorney with experience in Arctic Cat lawsuits. An expert product liability lawyer will be a great asset for your case. You may not have any legal experience yourself, and he will be able to handle your claim while you recover and return to your normal life.

In California, you have 2 years from the date of the incident to file a claim against the company for injuries. You do not have an unlimited amount of time to take legal action; the statute of limitations is in place to ensure that your lawsuit is filed within an acceptable window. Some exceptions to the statute of limitations include minors, the physically or mentally incapacitated, and absent defendants. Minors can wait until they turn legal age, while the incapacitated can wait until they return to functioning health. Plaintiffs who file cases against individuals who are not in the state do not need to adhere to the statute until the defendant returns.
