Tennessee Auto Accident Lawyer Reports On A Tennessee ATV Fatality
ATV Fatality
As an experienced Nashville automobile accident attorney I try to keep abreast of all things related to highway safety. A recent ATV accident reported in local West Tennessee media about a man who crashed his ATV into a ditch and was pinned underneath it under water definitely reminded me to report some sobering statistic to my readers.
Recent studies show that ATV related fatalities increased nearly 60% between 2000 and 2005, while during the same period non-fatal injuries rose 48%. A litany of serious injuries such and traumatic head injuries, spinal injuries, and leg, toe and hand amputations, result from ATV crashes.
Some highway traffic safety professionals believe that multi-rider ATV accident victims were more than 10 times as likely to require an amputation as riders involved in an accident with a conventional single-rider ATV.
