Wolfville Snowmobile Accident Lawyer


Most snowmobile accidents occur after dark. During the cold winter months with fewer hours of daylight, snowmobile enthusiasts often stay out past sunset, putting them at greater risk of sustaining injuries in an accident. This is partially because visibility is significantly reduced at night and the operators of off-highway vehicles may be unable to see other snowmobiles or large stationary objects. However, it is also because negligent snowmobile operators may be more likely to indulge in reckless, irresponsible behaviour under the cover of darkness.

When inebriated, distracted, careless, or otherwise negligent snowmobile drivers operate their dangerous vehicles, they put the lives of other off-highway vehicle drivers at risk. Even the most overly prepared, cautious, and alert snowmobile rider could sustain serious injuries in an accident caused by someone else’s negligence. Common examples of injuries that could be sustained in a collision with a negligent snowmobile operator 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
  • And more

As a result of the injuries they have sustained in a snowmobile accident, injured riders could experience physical difficulties, emotional distress, and financial hardship. Because another snowmobile rider failed to consider the effects their irresponsible behaviour could have on someone else, injured snowmobile accident survivors could struggle overcoming their injuries and supporting themselves financially.

In accordance with the province’s Off-Highway Vehicle Act, anyone who operates a snowmobile is legally obligated to follow the rules and safety regulations mandated by this provincial legislation. As such, all snowmobile operators owe a duty of care to others and must take reasonable precautions to ensure that no one is harmed because of their misconduct. Common examples of negligence that often results in injurious snowmobile accidents include:

  • Driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs
  • Reckless driving
  • Excessive speeding
  • Distracted driving
  • Failing to signal
  • Night riding with improper lighting
  • And more
