| California Yamaha Rhino accident lawyer |
With its wide open spaces and often rugged terrain, the sprawling state of California is peppered with choice locations for enthusiasts of ATVs, or all terrain vehicles, such as the Yamaha Rhino ATV. The state government has set aside certain areas for off-highway motor vehicle recreation, and many organized activities are held for ATV users, often on special ATV trails and tracks.Unfortunately, those ATV users have a high chance of being victims in a Yamaha Rhino accident, given that vehicle's inherent design flaws. Further, the Yamaha Rhino poses particularly serious threats to small children. An ATV can weigh 500 to 1,000 pounds and achieve speeds approaching 75 miles per hour. When such a vehicle crashes or rolls over, its occupants can suffer serious injuries and even death. In large part such accidents are the responsibility of a manufacturer which knowingly created such vehicles with dangerous design elements.

Yamaha Rhino ATVs are popular -- and dangerousAccording to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the number of four-wheeled ATVs in America has more than tripled in the past decade, with approximately 7 million now in use. One of the most popular ATVs is the Yamaha Rhino, whose design includes a narrow wheel base that enables owners to transport the Yamaha Rhino in the bed of a pickup truck.However, that same narrow wheel base also contributes to Yamaha Rhino accidents, along with the fact that the Yamaha Rhino ATV tends to be top-heavy. Such elements can cause the Yamaha Rhino to tip or roll over, even when it's driven slowly and on a flat surface. Those injured in such Yamaha Rhino accidents can suffer broken bones, paralysis or crushed limbs requiring amputation. They also can be killed. In large part this is because some ATVs, such as the Yamaha Rhino, lack side doors, handlebars or roofs, which contributes to drivers' injuries. When a Yamaha Rhino rolls over, the driver's tendency is to try to brace his or her fall with an arm or a leg, and in that way the limb can be severely injured. Drivers trapped beneath a rolled over Yamaha Rhino also are in serious danger.

According to the CPSC, ATV accidents involving children alone can cost Americans $2 billion annually to treat.
