Riding an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) can be both fun and practical. ATVs can be useful methods of transportation throughout the countryside and other rural areas. They can also give friends, neighbours, and family members the opportunity to explore nature together in enjoyable, outdoor excursions.
Responsible ATV riders appreciate the importance of safety precautions and vigilance while operating their quad, dirt bikes, and other off-highway vehicles. However, even the safest off-highway vehicle operator can be involved in an accident leading to injuries or wrongful death. Our Lloydminster car accident lawyers frequently see ATV riders seriously injured by other vehicles on the road.
Many ATV riders and trail-users are injured in collisions with other off-highway vehicles. Typically, these occur when the at-fault ATV driver fails to uphold the duty of care they owe to others, as mandated by the province’s Traffic Safety Act.
If an ATV rider fails to take the safety of others into consideration by engaging in any form of negligent conduct while operating their off-highway vehicle, they may be liable for damages incurred by anyone who has been injured as a result. ATV riders may be considered negligent for:
- Riding under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs
- Speeding
- Carrying passengers on single-rider vehicles
- Riding an ATV is inappropriate for the operator’s age, weight, and experience level
- Straying from trails
- Operating the off-highway vehicle on highways
- Failing to use headlights while riding at night
- And more
Injured survivors of ATV accidents often face long, challenging, and expensive paths to recovery. This can be particularly true if the injuries they have sustained prevent them from continuing to work. In these situations, our Lloydminster long-term disability lawyers can help injured individuals understand their options for pursuing disability benefits and addressing the financial impact of being unable to work.
Injured ATV accident survivors can face monumental physical demands, overwhelming emotional and psychological issues, and financial distress. That is why it is so important to contact our Lloydminster ATV accident lawyers as soon as possible following an injury-causing collision.
Thousands of people across the province are hospitalized each year as a result of ATV accidents. Each year in Alberta, approximately 6000 people are admitted to emergency rooms because of injuries sustained in ATV accidents. Our ATV accident lawyers serving Lloydminster are committed to helping injured victims of off-highway vehicle collisions get the fair treatment and fair compensation to which they should be entitled.
If you have been involved in a collision caused by another off-highway vehicle operator, it is important to remember that you are not alone.

Commonly Asked ATV accident Questions
Here are our most asked questions on ATV accident claims.
What are some common causes of ATV accidents?
Driving in a dangerous manner is the most common cause of ATV accidents. While there are fewer motorists on trails than on the roads, the terrain is less consistent and more dangerous. Further, drinking and driving on ATVs is also common and may lead to accidents.
What type of injuries can arise from an ATV accident?
ATV accidents often lead to serious injuries. These vehicles offer less protection and can lead to broken bones, concussions, and soft tissue injuries.
Who can sue for an ATV accident?
If you are injured as a passenger, you likely have a valid claim against the driver. If two ATVs collide, either or both drivers may have a good claim.
What should I do if I am in an ATV accident?
Take photographs of the condition and location of the ATV right after the accident. Seek medical attention and follow their advice. Contact a lawyer.
What evidence is required to support an ATV accident claim?
Photographs at the scene and your statement of the circumstances of the accident are central to who is at fault for the accident. Medical records, employment records, and tax records assist in outlining the value of the claim.
How is liability determined in an ATV accident claim?
Liability is determined by assessing the evidence and determining the circumstances of the accident. Once the facts are determined, the roles of each party and their actions will be assessed based on what would have been reasonable in the circumstances. It is possible that multiple parties are partially responsible for one accident.
How can a personal injury lawyer help me with an ATV accident claim?
Lawyers can help gather evidence, analyze faults, tell your story, and navigate the court system. For serious claims, the action should be brought in the Court of the King’s Bench. It is advisable to have counsel to take the appropriate steps in civil procedure.
What kind of compensation is available for an ATV accident?
Compensation depends on your injuries and the impact on your life. The typical heads of damage for ATV accident claims include:
- Pain and suffering;
- Past wage loss;
- Future wage loss;
- Out-of-pocket expenses; and
- Expected future care.
Is there a time limit to file an ATV accident claim?
Generally, you have two years to sue for an ATV accident.
Does the amount of gear I wear impact the compensation I can claim?
Yes. The most important element of equipment is your helmet. Courts have found that if you do not wear a helmet and you sustain a head injury, you will likely receive less money.
What factors will impact the success of my ATV accident claim?
Whether the driver has insurance will impact how your claim will progress and your ability to recover damages. Securing evidence about the accident and injuries is key to having a successful ATV.
