Excessive speed, alcohol, trail hazards, and collisions with other sleds or fixed objects cause most serious snowmobile injuries.
Common Causes
Liability and Insurance
Other riders, trail operators, and even landowners can bear responsibility depending on the cause. Homeowner or specialty policies may provide coverage.
Alcohol and Recklessness
Operating under the influence can support punitive damages under Wis. Stat. § 895.043 for intentional disregard of others' safety.
