East Tennessee ATV Accidents
The residents of Church Hill are still reeling from a four-wheeler auto accident in Tennessee that took the lives of two of its young people in May of this year. Apparently, during the early hours of the morning, the driver attempted to negotiate a turn on a back road when he lost control and hit a tree killing both him and his girlfriend.
Accidents like this occur each year in East Tennessee. With outdoor sports being a significant part of East Tennessee culture, there are plenty of opportunities to ride four wheelers (aka ATVs) on such trails as:
- Covington Pike Trails
- West Point
- Royal Blue Trails
- Wind Rock
- Cooper Hill
- Natchez Trace State Park
- Chickasaw State Park
ATV accidents are typically caused by the same things that cause motor vehicle accidents in East Tennessee: driver error, road conditions, other drivers, defective tires and parts, negligent repair and so on. The types of injuries typically associated with ATV accidents include brain damage, spinal injuries, bone fractures, contusions, cuts/scrapes, and sometimes death. These injuries frequently affect the victim’s ability to attend school, work and participate in everyday activities.
If you have been involved in a four-wheeler or ATV accident, you should know that you have certain rights under the law against those who might be responsible. These parties can include the manufacturer of the four-wheeler, parts manufacturers, the property owner, and other riders.
