Frequently Asked Questions about ATV Accidents in Long Island

Who can I hold liable for damages in an ATV accident? 

Operating ATVs often involves many risks. However, you can avoid accidents and injuries by taking the appropriate precautions while operating your ATV. However, accidents can still occur despite taking precautions. The party you can hold liable for damages in an ATV accident claim will depend on the circumstances of the accident. For example, if your accident occurred while on private property as a result of a hazardous condition such as a large pit in the middle of the trail, you can hold the property owner liable for the accident. If the accident occurred on a state-owned trail, you may be able to hold the government liable for your accident.

What type of insurance will cover my damages for an ATV accident claim?

ATV accident claims can be complex. There are no two cases that are the same. The type of insurance that you can make your claim against will depend on the circumstances of your accident. For example, if the accident occurred as a result of a dangerous condition on a neighbor’s property, you may be able to make a claim against their homeowner’s insurance policy. If you have ATV insurance, you may be able to make a claim against your insurance policy.
