Shediac Snowmobile Accident Lawyer


Whether you ride a snowmobile for recreational purposes or to travel efficiently in areas impacted by heavy snowfall, you are undoubtedly aware that this popular wintertime activity requires both preparedness and caution. Riding a snowmobile can be a great deal of fun, but just like other motor vehicles, it can also be a dangerous activity.

Snowmobile accidents in the region often have deadly outcomes. In addition to immersion deaths caused by riding over insufficiently frozen bodies of water, many fatal snowmobile accidents are the result of another off-road vehicle operator’s negligence.

Most snowmobile accidents occur after dark, when negligent off-road vehicle operators may feel emboldened to behave less responsibly, and when poorer visibility could increase the likelihood that their wrongful conduct will result in a fatal or injurious accident. Many snowmobile accidents that end in injuries or deaths are caused by driver inebriation. Using illegal drugs or drinking alcohol while operating a dangerous, high-speed machine like a snowmobile can end the life of an unsuspecting accident victim, or cause them to sustain serious, life-changing injuries. If someone operates an off-road vehicle under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs and an injurious collision with another driver ensues, the at-fault snowmobile driver may be considered negligent and, therefore, liable for damages incurred by the injured party.

Inebriated riding is only one example of negligence that could cause a severe snowmobile accident. In accordance with the province’s Off-Road Vehicle Act, all snowmobile operators are required to provide a duty of care to others and to use a reasonable degree of caution while operating their off-road vehicles. Any violation of the rules governing the safe use of off-road vehicle riding could be considered negligence if the wrongful action leads to an injury-causing accident.
