Dangers of Yamaha ATV Rollovers

Yamaha ATVs have been linked to a higher risk of rollover accidents due to design flaws such as:

• High Center of Gravity: These ATVs can tip over easily on uneven terrain or during sharp turns.
• Narrow Wheelbase: This design makes the ATV less stable and more prone to rollovers.

There have been numerous instances of rollover incidents resulting in paraplegia and quadriplegia, conditions that change the course of someone’s life. We have learned that Yamaha ATV models are not equipped with adequate rollover protection bars. Worse, Yamaha is aware of this defect and have failed to protect users of their products.

A Yamaha ATV rollover accident can cause a wide range of serious injuries, including:

• Quadriplegia: This devastating injury results in paralysis of all four limbs and the torso.
• Spinal Cord Injuries: These injuries can range from minor to complete paralysis.
• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs): TBIs can cause a variety of cognitive, emotional, and physical problems.
• Neck Injuries: Rollover accidents can cause whiplash, herniated discs, and other neck injuries.
• Broken Bones: Fractures are common in ATV accidents, especially in the arms and legs.
