The Ammons Law Firm has filed a lawsuit against Polaris Industries, Inc. and other defendants following a tragic off-road vehicle accident that resulted in severe injuries to a minor. The incident occurred during a social gathering at a weekend home where several children were present.
According to the lawsuit, a Polaris RZR off-road vehicle was being operated by a minor driver with another minor as a passenger when the vehicle allegedly rolled out of control in a muddy and overgrown area. During the rollover, the passenger’s arm was allegedly ejected from the vehicle and crushed beneath it, causing serious injuries.
The Ammons Law Firm is pursuing claims against Polaris Industries, Inc., alleging that the RZR off-road vehicle was defectively designed and inadequately tested for safety. The lawsuit contends that the vehicle is laterally unstable and lacks appropriate safety features to protect occupants in the event of a rollover. Specifically, the complaint points to the absence of proper netting or roll-protection equipment that could have prevented the victim’s limb from being ejected and crushed during the incident.
The legal action also alleges that Polaris was aware of similar incidents involving their vehicles that had resulted in injuries and fatalities to other children. Despite this knowledge, the lawsuit claims that Polaris chose not to implement design changes that could have prevented such accidents from recurring.
In addition to the product liability claims against Polaris, the lawsuit includes allegations of negligence against other defendants involved in the incident. These claims include failure to properly supervise the children, negligent entrustment of the vehicle to a minor driver, and failure to maintain safe premises where the vehicle was being operated.
The Ammons Law Firm is seeking compensation for the injured minor’s past and future medical expenses, physical pain and suffering, mental anguish, disfigurement, and loss of enjoyment of life. The lawsuit also alleges gross negligence against the defendants, which could potentially result in additional exemplary damages.
