The term "recreational vehicle" can be used to describe most any vehicle that is used for recreational purposes, such as fifth wheels and travel trailers. RVs can be either motorized or non-motorized. Non-motorized options are often hitched to and pulled with a truck.
Some recreational vehicles are outfitted with complete kitchens, entertainment centers, bathrooms and multiple sleeping areas. The resulting vehicle is very large — often too large for a non-professional operator to handle — and can be a hazard on the road. Without the proper training and experience, the operators of these vehicles are primed to cause serious crashes on our nation's highways.
Experienced Trial Lawyers for RV Accidents
Accidents involving recreational vehicles (RVs) can be some of the most serious motor vehicle accidents, causing injuries to the head, neck and back, including traumatic brain injuries, quadriplegia and paraplegia, as well as other injuries such as fractures or amputations. There are several reasons for this:
- Passengers in RVs often ride unsecured in the back of the vehicle. When accidents occur, they are launched across or outside of the vehicle.
- RVs are slow and bulky compared to other traffic on the road. It becomes more difficult to take evasive action, which can lead to accidents.
- Many RV operators do not have sufficient experience driving large vehicles. They do not realize that more time is needed for braking and that visibility is limited.
