Moncton ATV Accident Lawyers

All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) provide an exciting way to explore New Brunswick’s landscapes.  However, like any motorized vehicle, ATVs come with inherent risks, and accidents can and do occur. NOVA Injury Law is here to help in these situations.  

The consequences of ATV accidents can be severe, ranging from minor injuries to permanent disabilities and death. In addition to physical harm, ATV accidents can cause significant emotional and financial strain for the individuals involved and their families.  

The Off-Road Vehicle Act 

In New Brunswick, off-road vehicles are regulated by the Off-Road Vehicle Act. This legislation sets out various requirements for off-road vehicles, including minimum age requirements, where you can ride, insurance, and other safety obligations. Under the Off-Road Vehicle Act, ATV and snowmobile operators are required to have insurance for their vehicles. Insurance is also required for all off-road vehicles that operate on a trail system, with the exception of dirt bikes and dune buggies. Each vehicle must have a minimum of $200,000 in liability insurance that includes third-party liability.  A valid motor vehicle liability insurance card must be carried at all times when operating an off-road vehicle. 

How Does Liability Work in an ATV Accident? 

When an accident is the fault of another person, you deserve to be compensated. Just like any other type of accident, determining liability can be complex. In ATV accidents, multiple parties can be held accountable including the driver, owner, manufacturer, or the individual/entity responsible for maintaining the trail. At NOVA Injury Law, our job is to identify all liable parties to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.  

How can NOVA Injury Law Help You? 

Most ATV riders use designated routes and trails intended for ATV use. These trails frequently have intersections where serious accidents can occur if any party fails to yield. However, ATV  accidents can happen in various ways, including impaired driving, distracted driving, poorly maintained trails, and mechanical failures.
