Recreational Vehicle Accidents
Examples of recreational vehicles include ATV’s, snowmobiles, jet skis, boats, dirt bikes, dune buggies, motor homes and campers, moped and motor scooters. If you’ve been injured in an accident with one of these recreational vehicles, contact our law firm today.
Because many people use recreational vehicles for enjoyment, they may not take safety as seriously as operating a car or truck. In many instances though, operating a recreational vehicle can be just as dangerous as or more dangerous than operating a car due to the lack of safety equipment built into the recreational vehicle.

- Reckless or negligent driving

Scooter Accidents
Scooter accidents
Scooters and Vespa sales have increased dramatically in the last few years as both can be a fun way to get around town and save money on gas. This is especially true for college students. They are similar to a motorcycle in that they have larger engines, can go faster and the rider needs a driver’s license to operate one. Unfortunately, like motorcycles, scooter and Vespa riders can suffer serious injuries in an accident, especially if the rider was not wearing a helmet. Scooters offer little to no protection to the rider against traffic and accidents can be extremely dangerous.
Scooter and motorcycle riders share the same risks on the road.
Common risks to scooter drivers in Milwaukee:
- Low profile makes it difficult for other drivers to see them
- Visibility
- Blind Spots
- Speeding
- Inattentive Driving
- Poor Weather or Night driving
- Impaired Drivers

ATV Accidents
ATV’s, all-terrain vehicles, are quite common in Wisconsin for recreation and work for farm and land owners. They usually have three or four wheels and are capable of reaching speeds up to 95 mph.
Unfortunately, there are hundreds of injuries and deaths each year from ATV accidents. In the last decade, the use of ATV’s, especially in minors, has increased while the design of ATV’s has made them larger, faster and more powerful bringing greater risk to the driver. Severe trauma to the head and spine resulting from ATV accidents has escalated dramatically in the past few years. If you have a farm-related accident, make sure to call our farm accident attorneys.
Those drivers not wearing helmets and involved in ATV accidents have a much higher risk of neurological injury than those wearing helmets since ATV’s offer little to no protection in an accident. The estimated national costs of ATV associated injuries are $3.24 billion annually.
Common ATV Accidents Include:
- Rollover
- Collision with stationary objects
- Collision with other vehicles
