Johns Creek ATV Accident Attorney

Johns Creek, GA ATV Accident Attorney – Four Wheeler Injury Law Firm

ATV Accident Law Office in Cumming, GA

Casey W. Stevens Law: Alpharetta Personal Injury and Car Accident Lawyers represent Johns Creek, Georgia area clients in ATV accident claims.

ATVs – also known as “quads” — are popular among teens and adults, both to have fun and haul heavy objects. Many children enjoy going four-wheeling with their parents as well. But, even when operated properly, ATVs can still lead to accidents and serious injuries. In 2010 alone, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimated that there were over 100,000 ATV-related injuries that required an emergency room visit – a quarter were for kids under the age of 16.

While most ATV accident claims are successfully handled through insurance companies, many victims choose to seek out the services of a personal injury attorney, who can help them reach a settlement with those responsible, or file a lawsuit seeking compensation for their suffering. Auto accident attorneys with experience handling ATV accident lawsuits can thoroughly evaluate your case and help file claims against negligent drivers, manufacturers or technicians.
