Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
Riding an off-road or all-terrain vehicle is a great pastime, but it can also be risky when done so on busy roads. Between 1982 and 2017, 470 people in Michigan lost their lives in all-terrain vehicle collisions, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. A total of 13,426 ATV crashes resulted in 2,437 injuries and 96 fatalities in just 2017 alone, showing a dramatic increase in the severity and frequency of these collisions. Any time you are on the road, there is a risk of being injured in a sudden car accident. The likelihood of suffering catastrophic injuries is high, and sometimes victims are unsure of how to manage after being hurt by a reckless driver. It can take weeks, months, or even years to make a full recovery depending on the severity of your injuries.
