Spanning across nearly 150 acres, the property offers a multitude of ATV trails that wind their way through the forested terrain.

ATV Rollover Accidents
Protecting Injured Children & Their Rights
ATV rollovers are a leading cause of serious injuries among children in Missouri. Their high center of gravity and lack of a turning differential make them prone to flipping, especially when driven unsafely. When adults allow children to operate ATVs recklessly, they may be liable for injuries under negligent supervision or entrustment laws. Homeowner’s insurance often covers these claims, helping families secure compensation for medical care.
We represented a 15-year-old boy injured in an ATV rollover in Jerseyville, Illinois. Hired to transport guests at a private party, he flipped the property owner’s ATV, suffering a serious foot fracture. This highlights the risks of negligent supervision and the importance of holding responsible parties accountable. If your child has been injured in an ATV accident, contact Cantor Injury Law to explore your options.
St. Louis ATV Accident Lawyers FAQs
Yes. While helmets greatly reduce the risk of serious injury, not wearing one does not automatically prevent you from recovering compensation. The insurance company may try to argue that your injuries were worse because you weren’t wearing a helmet, but we fight to ensure you receive full compensation for your injuries—helmet or not.
Children under 16 account for nearly one-third of all ATV-related injuries. If your child was injured while riding an ATV, we can help you determine who is responsible, whether it’s another rider, an ATV manufacturer, or a negligent property owner. We hold responsible parties accountable to help cover medical expenses, pain and suffering, and long-term care needs.
Yes. ATV accident cases can be complex, involving multiple liable parties, insurance disputes, and state-specific laws. Insurance companies often try to deny or minimize payouts, but we know how to fight back. We handle everything—investigating the crash, gathering evidence, and negotiating with insurers—so you don’t have to.
To protect yourself while riding an ATV, make sure to always wear a helmet and other protective gear, such as gloves and goggles. Additionally, make sure to drive carefully and avoid going too fast, especially when turning.
It depends on the situation. Automobile insurance, homeowners insurance, or umbrella insurance may cover your injuries depending on the situation. However, it is best to contact a lawyer to navigate the process of getting money for your injuries from the insurance company.
In Missouri, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is five years from the date of the accident. In Illinois, it’s two years. However, waiting too long can hurt your case, as evidence can disappear and witnesses may forget details. It’s best to contact us as soon as possible to start building a strong claim.
