ATV Accident Compensation In Jacksonville, TX
Many factors can cause ATV accidents, such as someone operating without experience, riding without adult supervision, or riding double on a one-rider ATV. If someone’s negligence caused your ATV injuries, you may receive compensation in a personal injury lawsuit.
Our ATV accident lawyers in Jacksonville, TX, are often asked ‘what is my claim worth?’ There is no precise answer that fits every accident claim, but our experience shows that the following factors will influence your settlement amount:
- The severity of injuries: Suppose the person driving the ATV didn’t have any training, rolled over, and suffered a broken neck as a passenger. You can have millions in losses because of such a severe injury. This claim will be worth more than if you broke an arm or leg.
- Medical bills: A severe head or neck injury may cost millions to treat over many years. Your case value will be higher, especially if the severe injury requires surgery and extensive hospitalization.
- Lost earnings: A catastrophic injury will lead to more lost earnings compensation and lost earning capacity for your lost working years. On the other hand, a minor hand or leg injury will be worth less lost income compensation.
- Pain and suffering: A severe neck or head injury from an ATV accident can cause excruciating pain, while an abrasion and bruising injury will cause less physical and mental discomfort.

How ATV Accidents Happen
Our Jacksonville, TX, ATV accident attorneys have seen ATV crashes caused for many reasons over the years. Regardless of how or why the ATV accident happened, we can help if someone’s negligence injured you in the following:
Car Accidents
Serious and fatal ATV accidents often involve cars. Sometimes, a car driver may be negligent, run off the road, and hit an ATV. Or, the ATV rider may enter a local highway and be hit by a motor vehicle. If you were a passenger on the ATV, you can be entitled to compensation for your losses.
Truck Accidents
Tractor-trailers are enormous; if a truck driver hits someone on an ATV, the crash can be fatal. Our ATV accident attorneys will review the accident and determine if someone’s negligence caused the truck crash. In some accidents, an ATV passenger could suffer severe injuries if the ATV driver was on a road without headlights and got hit by a truck.
Drunk Driving
One of the most common causes of ATV accidents is drinking and driving. Driving an ATV while intoxicated is at least as dangerous as driving a regular vehicle. ATV passengers are usually exposed to the environment, and it’s easier for someone to be seriously injured or killed in an accident. Or, a drunk car driver can hit and injure someone on an ATV.
