ATV Malfunction Causes Driver to Sustain Serious Head Injuries

Our client purchased a 2012 All Terrain Vehicle in 2012. The ATV had only 150 miles at the time of the accident.

As our client was traveling in an alleyway behind his house, the connection A-arm fractured causing him to lose control. He was thrown from the vehicle sustaining various head injuries. Our firm procured an expert that will testify that the product malfunctioned due to a metallurgical failure of the weld/bracket. Our client sustained significant head trauma, traumatic brain injury, a sub-arachnoid hemorrhage with multiple skull fractures and a left clavicle fracture.

After inspecting the vehicle and consulting with their experts, the manufacturer of the ATV has agreed to mediate this matter.
