ATV Accident Damages

Compensation for Your Losses

If you or someone you care about has been in an ATV accident, you may be entitled to significant compensation, depending on the circumstances of the accident. A Kansas ATV accident lawyer from the Palmer Law Group can evaluate your claim for free and give you a rough idea of how much compensation you deserve.

Damages

Two main types of damages are available in ATV accident cases — economic and non-economic. In some instances, a third type of damages may also be available. Known as punitive damages, they are reserved for cases where injuries are caused by particularly bad behavior that was willful, wanton, or malicious.

Common economic and non-economic damages awarded in personal injury cases include:

• Medical care expenses
• Lost income
• Property damages
• Mental anguish
• Anxiety
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of enjoyment of life.

The process for determining compensation is often contentious, given that insurance companies do whatever they can to pay less than they owe. Even when a claimant has a valid claim for damages, they might still face opposition from the insurance company handling the case, which is why it is important to have an experienced Kansas ATV accident lawyer fighting for you to ensure you receive a payout worthy of the losses you have suffered.

Liability

Accountability for Damages

After an ATV accident, one of the most important questions to answer is who is liable. At the Palmer Law Group, we perform a thorough investigation of your ATV accident to determine who is liable. In some cases, more than one party may be responsible for the damage done.

Potential Liable Parties

If you or someone you care about has been injured in an ATV accident, there are a few potential parties typically found liable for the accident, including:

• The driver of the ATV
• Another ATV driver
• The manufacturer of the ATV or its parts
• A property owner
• A driver of a motor vehicle
• An ATV repair shop.

We leave no stone unturned when investigating client cases. Whoever had a hand in your ATV accident, you can expect our team to hold them accountable.

Frequently Asked Questions

The following are some of the most frequently asked questions about ATV accidents and seeking compensation. Feel free to give us a call after reading them if you have more questions.

What is the statute of limitations for ATV accident lawsuits?

If you have been in an ATV accident, you have a total of two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. Once the statute of limitations has exceeded two years, your claim will likely be held as invalid. Although this rule has some exceptions, you are strongly advised to contact Palmer Law as soon as possible to preserve your right to compensation.

Do I need a Kansas ATV accident lawyer?

To recover the compensation you deserve after an ATV accident, you need to hire an experienced Kansas ATV accident lawyer. Without a lawyer, you may be able to collect compensation for your losses, but most times, it will be far below what you deserve.

Should I accept a settlement offer from the insurance company?

If you receive a settlement offer from an insurance company, you should first ensure an experienced Kansas ATV accident lawyer has reviewed your case. If not, you may not understand just how much your case is worth, and insurance companies know this. Their favorite claimants are those without lawyers because they can get away with paying them less.

How much compensation will my Kansas ATV accident lawyer recover for me?

It depends on how extensive your injuries and losses are. Typically, more extensive injuries lead to higher compensation.

What are some common causes of ATV accidents?

ATV accidents have many causes, including:

• Distraction
• Impairment
• Driving too fast
• Inexperience
• Faulty ATV
• Faulty ATV parts
• Improperly maintained property.

Whatever the reason, you can rely on the Palmer Group to fight to get you compensated properly for your losses.
