Today I read about a tragic case that occurred on May 16th in South Carolina. In that case, a 15- year-old girl was riding on the seat behind her 32 year old neighbor when the neighbor lost control of the vehicle and the two were ejected. As a result, the teen sustained <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finchmccranie.com\/spinal-cord-injury-lawyer.html\">spinal cord injuries<\/a> and is now paralyzed.

These rules are as follows:<\/p>\n<p>A.\tChildren under sixteen should not ride adult-sized ATV (engines bigger  than 90 cc\u2019s).<\/p>\n<p>B.\tTake a hands-on safety course.<\/p>\n<div class=\"read_more_link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.finchmccranie.com\/blog\/atv-accident-results-in-seriou\/\"  title=\"Continue Reading ATV Accident Results in Serious Injury and Criminal Charge\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Georgia injury lawyers have written before that with the growing popularity of ATV\u2019s or All-Terrain Vehicles, serious injury and death cases are on the increase in Georgia, especially among children.
