Toronto ATV and Snowmobile Accident Lawyers
All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and snowmobiles are an important source of entertainment and amusement for many Ontarians. Unfortunately, they are also involved in dozens of serious incidents and a handful of deaths each year in the province. That’s where a snowmobile or ATV accident lawyer can help.
Types of ATV and Snowmobile Accidents
ATVs and snowmobiles are more than recreational vehicles for many Ontarians – they are also critical to some businesses, important property maintenance tools, and vital transportation for remote communities. The variety of ways that Ontarians use off-road vehicles results in a wide variety of accidents. Some common examples include:
- Accidents caused by obstructions on the trail
- Collisions with cars, trucks, and SUVs
- Accidents caused by an owner’s failure to properly maintain the vehicle
- Accidents caused reckless or dangerous driving
- Accidents caused by drug or alcohol intoxication
- Accidents caused by a failure to wear appropriate, visible clothing
In each of these cases, an experienced ATV or snowmobile accident lawyer may be able to provide access to compensation or accident benefits. Unfortunately, many injuries caused by ATV or snowmobile accidents are extremely serious. Off-road vehicle riders do not have the same protections as regular motorists, so a seemingly minor accident such as a slow-motion rollover can cause debilitating, life-changing injuries. A snowmobile or ATV accident lawyers will be able to assess the viability of your claim and provide guidance for moving forward based on the particulars of your case.

It is a misconception that ATVs and snowmobiles aren’t regulated by unique legislation.
Ontario’s Motorized Snow Vehicles Act and Off-road Vehicles Act lay out unique rules for drivers of those vehicles. ATV and snowmobile riders must also comply with Ontario’s Highway Traffic Act and all applicable federal legislation.
Our team of Toronto snowmobile accident lawyers are well-versed in all off-road vehicle legislation, and will investigate the following nuances in each case:
- Was the vehicle registered and was the rider driving with a valid license?
- Was the driver under the age of 12 while driving in a public space?
- Was the vehicle insured as required by law?
- Did the driver comply with local municipal laws?
