What are Common Causes of Snowmobile Accidents?

Each year in Minnesota, people of all ages end up seriously injured as the result of snowmobile accidents.  Snowmobile accidents often result in serious injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, knee injuries, bone fractures and death.  Snowmobile accidents are caused by numerous factors, including the  Negligence of a Driver; Intoxication of the Driver; Property Owners Failing to Remove Hazards; Excessive trail Speed; Inexperience of the Operator; or Defective Design of the Snowmobile.  

Many snowmobiles have been recalled in recent years, including models produced by Polaris, Yamaha, Ski-Doo and Arctic Cat. Design defect cases are very challenging and require the assistance of an expert who is familiar with the relevant standard of care.  Please contact your local Kandiyohi County Personal Injury Attorney if you have any questions.
