Skiing And Snow Sports
Skiing and winter sports such as snowboarding provide a great recreational outlet for thousands every year. Yet a fun weekend on the slopes can very quickly turn into a devastating series of medical bills, hospital visits and missed days at work if the equipment is not crafted properly or warnings are not posted. Experiencing a serious injury while skiing could result in a long, drawn-out recuperation. Trails that are not kept up properly can cause serious injuries. Defective equipment and inadequate training can also contribute to skiing or other snow-sport-related accidents that result in injury or wrongful death.
If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in a snow-sport-related accident, please contact Soloff & Zervanos, P.C., today for a free comprehensive review of your case.
ATVs
In recent years, the surge in sales and popularity of ATVs has created higher number of reported accidents involving these types of vehicles. All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) can be extremely dangerous and may cause rollover accidents that result in serious injury.
If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in an ATV accident, please contact Soloff & Zervanos, P.C., today for a free case review.
Water Sports
Injuries involving water sports may result from product error. The unsafe design of pools, boats, motors or other watercraft equipment could result in drowning deaths or injuries. In addition, lifeguard inattention and negligence at pools, beaches or lakes may also lead to water-related injuries or wrongful deaths.

The Potential Consequences of a Philadelphia Recreational Vehicle Accident
If you sustain injuries in an accident involving an ATV, amusement park ride, snowboard, skis, or or water sport vehicle, it’s likely your injuries will require medical treatment. Bills for said treatment may be fairly costly.
Additionally, your injuries might prevent you from returning to work until you’ve fully recovered from them. This can add to your financial struggles.
On top of all that, depending on the severity of your injuries, you may endure such non-economic losses as pain and suffering.
Your injuries could even have a permanent or long-term impact on your finances and quality of life. For example, if your injuries are particularly serious, you may be unable to work indefinitely. You might also require lifelong medical care.
You deserve to receive compensation for these losses/damages if your accident resulted from the negligence of another party. Pursuing said compensation may involve filing a claim with the negligent party’s insurance. If they’re uninsured or their insurer won’t offer the settlement you’re owed, you can also seek compensation by filing a lawsuit. You may be awarded damages in court if you can convince a jury that you were injured due to the actions or carelessness of the defendant.
How a Philadelphia Recreational Vehicle Accident Attorney Can Help You
Strongly consider reviewing your case with a lawyer if you plan on taking legal action in the aftermath of an accident. You must understand that the insurance company’s goal isn’t necessarily to provide you with fair compensation. Instead, their goal is the same as that of any business: to minimize financial losses if possible.
Thus, when you file a claim, an insurer might attempt to deny it, suggesting you’ve failed to provide evidence indicating you were harmed due to negligence. If the insurance company isn’t able to outright deny your claim, they might still attempt to settle for less than your claim is worth.
That doesn’t need to happen. Although no ethical personal injury attorney can promise you’ll receive a certain amount of compensation when your case is resolved, a lawyer who understands the nuances of the law and the ways in which insurance companies defend themselves can improve your chances of securing the compensation for which you’re eligible.
Specifically, our Philadelphia recreational vehicle accident attorneys can:
- Investigate your accident and gather evidence showing you were harmed due to negligence
- Add up your medical bills, lost wages, and other such compensable losses to determine your claim’s potential value
- Negotiate a proper settlement with the insurance company
In addition, by allowing our team at Soloff & Zervanos, P.C. to handle your case, you can focus on your recovery after you’ve been harmed. Learn more by contacting us online or calling us at 215-929-7216.
