Georgia Man Critically Injured In ATV Crash
As a Georgia injury lawyer who owns an all terrain vehicle (ATV) I read about ATV accidents involving serious injury and sometimes death. Today the Gainesville Times reported that a Lula, Georgia man was airlifted to Grady Memorial Hospital yesterday with critical injuries. According to the article, the Georgia State Patrol said that 44 year old Joseph Turner was riding his ATV along the shoulder of Old Cornelia Highway about 9:15 p.m. when he turned his Honda ATV left into the path of a Chevrolet truck.
Although this case does not involve the negligence of a third party, many ATV accident injuries and deaths result from adults allowing minor children to operate ATV’s with passengers. Many of these adults turn children loose on ATV’s with no supervision and by so doing, expose themselves to liability for the serious injuries or wrongful death of the passengers.
