Idaho's vast public lands and trails make it a premier destination for ATV and UTV riding. But these powerful machines roll over easily and offer little protection, leading to serious injuries every season.
Common Causes of Off-Road Crashes
- Rollovers on steep or uneven terrain.
- Defective equipment or mechanical failure.
- Operator inexperience or impairment.
- Collisions with other vehicles or fixed objects.
- Passengers riding on machines not built for them.
Who May Be Liable
Depending on the facts, liability may fall on another rider, a rental company, a manufacturer of a defective machine, or a property owner who failed to warn of a hidden hazard. Idaho's recreational use rules can affect claims on certain lands.
Preserve the machine and avoid repairs until it can be inspected — a defect claim depends on it.
