TIPS FOR STAYING SAFE WHILE SNOWMOBILING
Although some snowmobiling accidents are unavoidable, many can be prevented by following these safety guidelines:
Never operate your snowmobile while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Be aware of your surroundings and keep an eye out for rocks, trees and other snowmobiles.
Always wear a helmet.
Avoid riding alone. If you do, make sure to let your friends and family know where you’re going and when you expect to return.
Always ride within your limits and stay on designated snowmobile trails.
Be cautious when crossing frozen bodies of water and always check the thickness of the ice before proceeding.
Bring a fully-charged cellphone and emergency supplies.
By keeping these tips in mind, you can enjoy a safe and enjoyable snowmobiling experience.
HOW TO SEEK COMPENSATION FOR A SNOWMOBILE INJURY
Like automobile drivers, the Motorized Snow Vehicles Act requires Ontario snowmobilers to insure their snowmobiles. Snowmobile insurance is categorized as no-fault insurance. This means that if you’re in a snowmobile accident, you can claim compensation for your damages regardless of who’s at fault. Statutory accident benefits can cover various out-of-pocket expenses such as medical bills, lost wages and caregiver expenses.
Moreover, if someone else’s negligence caused your accident, you may be able to file a lawsuit against them to seek additional compensation. A personal injury lawyer from Littlejohn Barristers may be able to help you recover additional damages, such as physical and emotional pain and suffering.
