- In 2010, an estimated 115,000 Americans sustained serious injuries in ATV accidents
- Approximately 28,000 of those injured were children under the age of 17
- Between 1982 and 2011, 220 Indiana residents lost their lives in ATV accidents
Several states have laws that require ATV riders to carry insurance, but Indiana does not require it, with the exception of two-wheeled motorized vehicles like dirt bikes.
Riding without insurance coverage can result in major financial losses. If your ATV is stolen, damaged or if you are involved in an accident that causes serious injuries to another person, major bills could follow. Whether you use your ATV for ranching, hunting or trail riding, having ATV insurance is an important step toward protecting your finances.

Many people think that their homeowners insurance will cover their ATV, but this coverage may be limited and is usually only applicable if the accident, theft or damage occurs on your property. For complete coverage when you’re on an adventure outdoors, you need an ATV insurance policy.
What Does ATV Insurance Cover?
ATV insurance is designed to provide coverage to owners of all sorts of ATVs, including three-wheelers, four-wheelers and side-by-sides. It will provide you with liability coverage to cover property damage and medical expenses if you are responsible for an accident while operating your ATV. This liability insurance will also provide compensation for legal fees and court costs if you are sued following a covered event.
Many comprehensive ATV policies will also cover non-accident-related damages to your ATV. This may include losses due to theft, vandalism, fire, falling objects or weather. If you also elect to purchase uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, you will be covered if an uninsured ATV operator is at fault for a collision in which you suffer injuries or loss. Because Indiana does not require ATV insurance, this added coverage is strongly recommended.
