The Dangers of 4 Wheelers

It is a known fact that 4-wheelers can be incredibly dangerous. They get up to 65 mph and do not have the same safety features that cars and trucks do. They are also prone to flipping and rolling when the driver is going at high speeds and taking turns. As you may already know, this can cause severe injury to anyone in the 4-wheeler.

Victims who survive a 4-wheeler accident commonly end up with the following type of injuries:

• traumatic brain injury
• spinal cord injury
• scarring
• head, neck or back injury
• paralysis

Are 4-Wheeler Accident Cases the Same as Car Accident Cases?

These two types of accidents are fairly similar. They tend to have similar types on injuries and causes but, when you’re looking for Boise 4-wheeler accident attorneys to represent your claim, you want to look for someone with experience handling 4-wheeler cases specifically. The insurance pertaining to 4-wheelers is very different from the insurance involved in auto accidents, so having a seasoned attorney by your side is going to make your case.

4-Wheeler Accidents and Insurance Coverage

4 Wheelers, or ATVs, can be insured but it is typically not included on auto insurance policies. Sometimes 4-wheeler insurance can be included on homeowner’s insurance, however. You will have to look into your policy to see if you have that coverage specifically because it is not a typical add-on. Not everyone is going to have that.

If you were to have 4-wheeler insurance, be sure you are aware of the circumstances in which an accident is covered. It may depend on who was operating it, where the accident happened, and why it happened. For example, you may find that your homeowner’s insurance that includes 4-wheeler accidents does not cover accidents that happen on your neighbor’s property, even if it was a few yards away from your property.
