Recreational vehicle accidents can be just as severe, if not more so, than car accidents. Due to environmental conditions, recreational vehicles have a long history of flipping, wrecking, and causing injuries to people of all ages. Recreational vehicles include dirt bikes, all terrain vehicles (ATVs), three-wheeled vehicles, and numerous watercraft vehicles. In 2005, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reported 136,700 injuries sustained during ATV accidents. This number is just a small percentage of all accidents caused by recreational vehicles.

Injuries sustained during such accidents can be as minor as cuts and bruises or as severe as spinal and brain injuries. Most operators do not wear helmets, so these types of injuries are possible. The costs of these injuries include medical costs, both short-term and long-term, as well as potential lost wages. Because most recreational vehicle drivers do not have automobile insurance, most claims are covered under homeowners' policies. Recreational vehicle accidents are also different because you do not need a license to operate them. These circumstances can add up to a very complex case, especially when trying to decide who will pay for what.
