Unfortunately, accidents do happen on ATVs in Maine. Whether it's an accident involving other riders, wildlife or vehicles, it's important to have the protection of an insurance policy in place to help shield you financially.
Lack of coverage can result in financial loss if your ATV is stolen or damaged or if you are involved in an accident, particularly if you are at-fault and the accident results in serious injuries to another person. Whether you use your ATV for trail riding, hunting or agricultural purposes, having insurance is an important step toward protecting your finances and your investment.
Many people assume that their homeowners insurance will provide them with all the coverage they need for an ATV. This coverage is usually very limited and may only be applicable if the accident, theft or damage occurs while the ATV is on your property. The coverage option that is going to provide protection in the majority of situations is a four-wheeler insurance policy that covers the machine specifically.
