Experience – Oatley Vigmond’s greatest asset
Individuals involved in ATV or dirt bike accidents have many different law firms to choose from, but our experience sets us apart for Canadians in need. At Oatley Vigmond, we have made it our mission to help ATV and dirt bike injury victims secure their physical and financial recovery. In our 40+ years of service, many of our lawyers have distinguished themselves as Certified Litigation Specialists, having been certified by the Law Society of Upper Canada for maintaining the highest standards of competence and professional ethics.
Our team understands the unique legal considerations that factor into ATV and dirt bike accidents. If you have been injured because the driver of an off-road vehicle, like an ATV or dirt bike, was negligent, you can sue both the driver and the owner of the off-road vehicle. Additionally, insurance policies covering ATVs and dirt bikes provide “no-fault” benefits that pay for medical, rehabilitation and other expenses.
Furthermore, our accident benefits specialists have experience as former insurance adjusters. This gives our team an invaluable insider’s perspective that informs our dealings with insurers. Our accident benefits specialists also work alongside a specialized team of rehabilitation professionals to optimize your recovery and ease the transition from hospital to home.

Poor weather conditions, poorly maintained roads and inadequate application of salt and sand can all lead to dangerous road conditions. Weather aside, there is no excuse for unsafe driving conditions.

According to The Ontario Ministry of Transportation, three people are injured every day in motorcycle accidents in Ontario. The vulnerability of the driver combined with the high speeds amplify the risk and severity of injuries in a motorcycle accident. A victim can lose their life, or be left to cope with traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, serious orthopaedic injuries and amputation.
Many motorists do not keep a proper lookout for pedestrians. Pedestrians are vulnerable to the most serious injuries including brain injuries, spinal cord injuries and devastating orthopaedic injuries.
According to the Canadian Institute for Health Information, snowmobile crashes are the most common cause of severe injuries for winter recreation activities. Modern snowmobiles can travel at speeds of well over 120 km per hour. It can take over 270 feet to stop a snowmobile travelling at just 72 km per hour. While snowmobiling is a fun activity, it can also be very dangerous.

In Ontario, you have the right to sue at-fault drivers for damages suffered as a result of your motor vehicle accident.

Many people remain unaware of their legal options in accidents involving no other vehicles. Though some assume no legal recourse is available in these circumstances, the Oatley Vigmond team can help. The authority with jurisdiction over the road is exposed to liability when it permits a road to be in a state that is unsafe for drivers exercising ordinary care. Poor weather conditions, poorly-maintained roads, and inadequate application of salt and sand can all lead to dangerous road conditions, and the municipality, county, or province can be held accountable for neglecting these driving hazards.
Even if you are technically at fault, our motor vehicle accident benefit specialists can help. Formerly employed in the insurance industry, our specialists have the insight and experience needed to secure statutory accident benefits for injury victims. Statutory accident benefits give you access to the rehabilitative and medical support services needed to recover from your injuries.
