Restigouche County Snowmobile Accident Lawyer
In areas impacted by heavy snowfalls, riding a snowmobile may be a practical option for essential winter travel. Throughout the long winter months, snowmobiles could provide Restigouche County residents with a safe, efficient, off-highway mode of transportation. Snowmobiles can also be a fun recreational pastime for those looking to interrupt the tedium of winter with a jolt of high-speed energy.
However, riding a snowmobile requires attentiveness, caution, and preparation. More and more frequently, snowmobile operators in the province lose their lives in off-highway vehicle collisions or immersion accidents on insufficiently frozen bodies of water. Snowmobile accidents can also cause serious injuries, often requiring lengthy periods of hospitalization, ongoing physical rehabilitation, and substantial lifestyle adjustments. Common injuries resulting from snowmobile accidents include:
- Broken or fractured bones
- Whiplash and other soft tissue injuries
- Concussions
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Sprains and strains
- Musculoskeletal injuries
- Internal bleeding
- Organ damage
- Fractured ribs
- Neck and back injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Paralysis
- Traumatic amputations
- Drowning
- And more
Despite provincial legislation requiring snowmobile operators under the age of 16 to pass safety training certification courses, snowmobile accidents are frequently caused by their operator’s inexperience or wrongful conduct. When negligent snowmobile operators fail to take the safety of others into consideration, they could cause collisions with severe consequences.
Snowmobile accidents most commonly occur at night when visibility is low and riders may feel emboldened to violate the rules governing off-highway vehicles. They may do so through a number of actions or actions which may constitute driver negligence. These may include impaired driving, reckless driving, distracted driving, and other dangerous behaviours.
Injured snowmobile accident victims may face long roads of recovery. Often, the repercussions of an injurious accident are physical, psychological, emotional, and financial. Plus, if the injuries sustained in a snowmobile collision prevent accident victims from returning to work, their financial losses could be significant, impacting their own economic security and the financial well-being of their entire family.
