All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) provide a thrilling way to explore Alberta’s outdoors, but they also come with significant risks. Accidents involving ATVs are common and often result in serious, sometimes life-altering, injuries. Whether you were riding on uneven terrain, involved in a collision, or affected by defective equipment, the aftermath of an ATV accident can be devastating.

Common Causes of ATV Accidents
Accidents involving ATVs can happen for many reasons, and in most cases, they are preventable. Common causes include:
- Driver error: Inexperienced or reckless driving can easily lead to accidents, especially on uneven or rugged terrain.
- Defective equipment: Faulty parts or poorly maintained ATVs can cause loss of control, leading to serious injuries.
- Dangerous terrain: ATV riders often encounter difficult terrain, including steep hills, loose gravel, and narrow trails, which increases the risk of rollover accidents.
- Inadequate safety gear: Failing to wear a helmet or other protective equipment can lead to more severe injuries in the event of an accident.
- Negligence of other parties: Collisions with other drivers or unsafe trail conditions can contribute to accidents.
Types of Injuries from ATV Accidents
The injuries caused by ATV accidents can be severe and often require long-term medical care. Some of the most common injuries include:
- Head and brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Broken bones and fractures
- Internal organ damage
- Lacerations and contusions
- Severe sprains and strains
- Emotional and psychological trauma
