If there’s a chance you deserve compensation for your ATV accident injuries, you need to record the damage and how much it cost to treat them. Most serious, traumatic, and complex injuries are recorded in your medical paperwork when you go to the emergency room or urgent care, but other conditions may take time to develop. For example, you may feel fine after an accident, but traumatic brain injuries (including concussions), back injuries, neck injuries, and even internal damage can take days or even weeks to appear. Only a doctor or other medical professional can detect early warning signs and get you the treatment you need right away.
After the ATV crash, make sure you write down the names, phone numbers, and addresses of anyone involved in the accident or who might have witnessed the event. Include the exact location, weather, ATV vehicle information (including the make and model number), and any other factors that may have caused or impacted the crash or that seem important to you. Take pictures of the scene, your injuries, and anything else that seems relevant.
After a crash, you’ll probably work with someone from the insurance company to settle your claim. This person is called an insurance adjustor, and their job is to settle your claim for as little money as possible. Anything you say to them could hurt your chances of getting a fair settlement. What’s more, anything you say on social media could hurt your claim later. To be safe, avoid saying or sharing anything after the crash.
After an ATV accident, you will probably hear from insurance adjusters attempting to get you to settle for settlement that’s too low to cover the cost of your injuries. Never accept their offer without speaking with a lawyer first. Insurance adjusters are trained to coerce injured people to settle for as little as possible, so anything you say to them can be used against you. Similarly, don’t post about the accident on social media; it can serve as clear and direct evidence that could destroy the strength of your claim later.

All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) can be a lot of fun. But, when these vehicles lose control and crash, riders, passengers, and even bystanders can get seriously injured. In fact, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, 324 people died in Alabama ATV crashes between 1982 and 2014.
If you or someone you love was injured in an ATV accident, you deserve answers. You may even be owed financial compensation for your injurie and suffering.
