Polaris Brutus Injuries & Hazards

UTV accidents involving Polaris Brutus vehicles have resulted in a wide range of serious injuries. Because UTVs lack the stability and safety features of conventional automobiles, even minor crashes can cause life-threatening injuries:

• Head Injuries: Concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are the most common injuries associated with UTV accidents
• Bone Fractures: UTV riders may suffer arm and leg fractures, or break their collar bone if they’re ejected from a UTV, or if the vehicle rolls over on them
• Spinal Cord, Neck, and Back Injuries: Riders ejected from a UTV may develop spinal cord injuries, often leading to full or partial paralysis
• Internal Bleeding: The impact of a UTV crash may cause internal bleeding and/or organ damage that doesn’t always manifest immediately
• Burns: If the fuel line of a UTV ruptures, gasoline may leak or spill from the vehicle, potentially causing painful and disfiguring burns if the fuel comes in contact with an ignition source
