ATV Helmet Use By Minors

There is no doubt on the part of emergency room physicians that requiring the use of helmets by minor riding all terrain vehicles (ATVs) would reduce deaths and head injuries.

The problem, as seen by some physicians, is that when a family first gets an ATV, they always insist their child wear a helmet, but soon get lax about helmet use on the ATV by their minor child. Invariably, it is that one time when they don't require their child to wear a helmet that the ATV crashes and the minor suffers a head injury.

This information is offered by New Jersey brain injury lawyers. Their site includes helpful information on all aspects of brain injury, medical and legal.
