Residents of Grande Prairie are no strangers to long winters and heavy snowfalls. To break up the monotony of the cold winter months, many community members participate in a fun, high-speed, recreational activity: snowmobiling.

Riding a snowmobile can infuse a jolt of energy into the tedium of winter. Operating these high-power off-highway vehicles can be an exciting and entertaining excursion. Snowmobiles can provide practical options for essential winter transportation in rural areas and communities impacted by heavy snowfall.

Just like any motor vehicle, though, riding a snowmobile can be dangerous. Snowmobile accidents can lead to injuries requiring hospitalization, or even fatalities. Snowmobile riders can lose their lives in accidents even if no other vehicle is involved. As a matter of fact, 80% of the country’s deadly snowmobile accidents are single-vehicle events.

Unfortunately, many snowmobile riders are often injured or killed as the result of accidents caused by a negligent off-highway vehicle operator. If a negligent snowmobile rider fails to consider the potential outcomes of their wrongful behaviour, their actions could have severe, long-lasting consequences.

One of the most common causes of serious snowmobile accidents is driver inebriation. Nationwide, alcohol and/or drugs factor into more than half of fatal snowmobile accidents. Other examples of negligence that could lead to a snowmobile accident include speeding, recklessness, driver distraction, and night riding with improper lighting.

The people who sustain injuries in snowmobile accidents often incur significant financial losses. Oftentimes, these are related to:

  • Medical expenses
  • Lost wages
  • Reduced future earning capabilities
  • Attendant care
  • Housekeeping services
  • Psychological counseling
  • Physical therapy
  • Occupational therapy
  • Massage therapy
  • Acupuncture
  • Professional nursing and ambulance services
  • Medically necessary equipment
  • Home and vehicle modifications
  • And more

Because snowmobile operators are required to have liability insurance, if you were injured in a collision caused by a negligent off-highway vehicle operator, their insurance policy should cover the costs associated with your injuries.

Unfortunately, insurance providers do not always make it easy for injured accident survivors to get the coverage they deserve. By working with our Grande Prairie snowmobile accident lawyers, you may be able to recover the maximum amount of damages to which you should be entitled.

Our snowmobile accident lawyers serving Grande Prairie are passionate about standing up for our clients’ rights. Additionally, we have experience fighting against the unfair tactics used by insurance providers to withhold fair compensation from deserving accident survivors.

Commonly Asked snowmobile accident Questions

Here are our most asked questions on snowmobile accident claims.

Seek medical attention, report the accident to the authorities, collect information from the scene of the accident, including contact information of potential witnesses, take pictures, and seek legal advice.

Common causes of snowmobile accidents include speeding, careless driving, poor weather conditions, poor visibility, impaired driving, and minors being allowed to operate a snowmobile.

Some of the most common injuries are brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones or fractures, psychological injuries, and more.

If you are injured by an uninsured snowmobile, you may be able to pursue a claim against the owner and/or driver of the snowmobile, the owner or occupier of the land on which the snowmobile was being operated, or the manufacturer, if the accident occurred because of a malfunction.

Compensation can include but is not limited to pain and suffering, past and future income loss and/or loss of opportunity, out-of-pocket expenses, future care costs, loss of housekeeping capacity, and more.

A personal injury lawyer can help investigate who is at fault for the accident. This is an important step that can be extremely difficult without a lawyer. It is equally important for a lawyer to help with proving what you have lost because of an accident. This includes what you and your family will lose because of your injuries, including pain and suffering and the impact your injuries have on your mental health, relationships, and more.

Usually, there is a 2-year limitation period from the day of the accident.

In Alberta, snowmobiles operated on public property require the owners to obtain insurance. Unfortunately, this is not always followed. Whether a snowmobile accident occurred on private or public property, it is recommended that you speak with a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible.
