ATV Manufacturing Defects
Los Angeles ATV Accident Attorneys
If you were involved in an ATV accident in the Los Angeles area, you may have been the victim of a defective product. ATV manufacturing defects or design defects can cause accidents to occur even when drivers are experienced or are driving cautiously. Depending on the case, a Los Angeles ATV accident attorney at our law firm may be able to help you take legal action against the manufacturer or perhaps the distributor or seller of your ATV.
Why would you have grounds to file a lawsuit? Manufacturers throughout the U.S. have an obligation to produce consumer products that are safe to use and that are free from defects. If there is inherent danger involved in using a product, the manufacturer must place a warning label in plain view that will help consumers avoid injury. Any design defect or manufacturing defect on an ATV therefore may give an accident victim grounds to file a civil lawsuit against the manufacturer or whatever party should be held accountable.
Yamaha Rhino ATV Accidents
Particular Yamaha Rhino models have been recalled or are being voluntarily repaired by Yamaha due to defective designs that caused them to tip or roll over in situations where they should have stayed upright. Even when operated at low speeds and by experienced drivers who were acting with reasonable caution, certain vehicles rolled over and caused serious injury or even death. Yamaha subsequently recalled side-by-side ATVs and issued a "voluntary repair program" for Yamaha Rhino 450s, 660s and 700s.
