An ATV accident has left former NBA star Rodney Rogers paralyzed from the shoulders down, according to the Associated Press. The ATV accident injury caused severe spinal cord damage.

LeRoi Moore, saxophonist and founding member of the Dave Matthews Band, suffered wrongful death this August from complications after an ATV accident in July.

Our Toledo, Ohio ATV accident attorneys want to remind riders to be careful while riding on ATVs, and also want to discourage parents from allowing their children under 16 from riding them at all.

In order to prevent an ATV accident, riders should not use the vehicles on a road – they are built to be off-road. Always travel at a safe speed, and never ride with a passenger. One of the most important factors in preventing a wrongful death from an ATV accident is using a helmet.

Injuries from an ATV accident can include broken arms or legs, including hands and feet. Often during a rollover ATV accident, the driver’s leg becomes pinned under the ATV, crushing the limb. There have been cases where the injury to the leg leads to amputation.
