Recreational Vehicle Defects
ATV and Other Recreational Vehicle Rollover Injuries
Four-wheel all-terrain-vehicles and utility-terrain-vehicles have become increasingly popular in the U.S. market.
In accidents nationwide relating to Yamaha’s Rhino alone, nearly 60 riders have been killed and hundreds seriously injured. Many of the Yamaha Rhino deaths have been of children. While every accident involving a Rhino or other ATV can pose a risk of serious injury, when a child is riding, the injuries have often been more severe. Children have been thrown from UTVs and then died after the vehicles landed on top of them.
The national law firm of Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP represented persons across America who suffered serious injuries and the families of those killed in ATV and UTV accidents, including rollovers. The injuries typically are broken or crushed legs, ankles or feet. In some cases, the injuries have been so severe as to require amputation.
ATV and UTV Injury Lawsuits
Lieff Cabraser served as Plaintiffs’ Lead Counsel in the litigation in federal court and Co-Lead Counsel in coordinated California state court litigation arising out of serious injuries and deaths in rollover accidents involving the Yamaha Rhino. The complaints charged that the Yamaha Rhino contained design and engineering flaws and should have been equipped with doors from inception.
