The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) estimates that ATV-related injuries in the U.S. have doubled in a recent 5-year period and deaths also continue to climb. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that each year about 110 people die while riding snowmobiles, and that over 13,000 hospital emergency room-treated injuries occur each year with snowmobiles. In addition, the boom in popularity of personal watercraft jet skis has created serious safety and logistical problems.
Legal Rights of the Injured
The law in most states provides individuals with legal claims and the right to compensation for injuries they suffer as a result of a defective product or the negligence of another. The injured person may file a lawsuit seeking compensation for his or her pain and suffering, medical expenses, lost past and future wages and punitive damages.
