A Yamaha Rhino accident lawyer can help you
Thousands of Americans enjoy the outdoor excitement of riding ATVs or all terrain vehicles, also known as RUVs (recreational utility vehicles) and UTVs (utility terrain vehicles). But yet another name should make consumers wary: Yamaha Rhino. Manufacturer negligence and design errors have made the Yamaha Rhino inherently unsafe, causing many injuries and fatalities.Indeed, the Consumer Product Safety Commission projects that 700 Americans will die and another 135,000 will be injured this year in ATV or off-road vehicle accidents. And based on past calamities, many will involve the Yamaha Rhino, produced by transportation giant Yamaha Corporation.
The Yamaha Rhino was designed and marketed in a way to sell more vehicles, but at the expense of safety. It has a narrow wheelbase and narrow tires, created so the Yamaha Rhino can be loaded onto the bed of a pickup truck for transportation to off-road trails. Yet this same narrow wheelbase makes the vehicle dangerous, especially since the Yamaha Rhino has a high center of gravity. Such design flaws make the Yamaha Rhino unstable, causing it to tip or roll over even when driven slowly and on a flat surface.

In many ways, an ATV, or all terrain vehicle, rolls under the radar of regulatory agencies. Though it's illegal to drive such vehicles on public roads and highways in many states, a driver needs no license to drive an ATV on off-road tracks and trails, which usually are on private property. This leads to many unskilled drivers operating an ATV, which wouldn't be so bad if some ATVs weren't inherently unsafe.Yamaha Rhino accident toll includes many young children as victims
Many of those injured and killed in Yamaha Rhino accidents are the smallest and most vulnerable drivers or passengers: children. Child victims often arise because parents and children alike are unsuspecting that a Yamaha Rhino can tip or roll over, often pinning a small child underneath its weight, which can be hundreds of pounds.
