On Friday, November 8th, an accident in Donnley Idaho occurred involving an ATV. The accident took place on Buckskin Road, at the intersection of Moore Road, in Valley County, at roughly 10:50 p.m.
The driver of the ATV, a 48-year-old man, was traveling westbound down Buckskin Road with his snowplow attached to the front, when he met an unexpected obstacle. He collided with the unknown object in the road, and the resulting force threw him from the vehicle. He sustained life-threatening injuries and was transported to a local hospital by ground ambulance.
This incident is under continued investigation by the Idaho State Police. No other report of the man’s condition has been given at this time.
We hope the man is able to sustain a full and timely recovery.
LIABILITY FOR SINGLE-VEHICLE ACCIDENTS IN IDAHO
Although some accidents may just be an accident, even single vehicle crashes may be caused by the negligence of a different person or entity than the driver involved in the accident. Idaho personal injury and wrongful death law compares the negligence of all persons and entities (including the plaintiff) who were a “substantial factor” in causing the accident. If the injured party’s negligence is less than 50% of the total negligence from other persons or entities, he may be entitled to damages.
Our personal injury attorneys can advise injured persons about their particular case and how Idaho’s legal principles of negligence, causation, and liability apply to it.
