Snowmobile Safety

Matthew E. Steinbrink - SiebenCarey "Know Your Rights" AttorneyDecember 02, 2019

Minnesota is a great state for snowmobile riding.  Whether you’re off for a long trail ride, or cruising out to the ice fishing shack, there are plenty of ways to enjoy Minnesota’s snowmobile season. 
 
There are also a number of safe riding tips that will help you arrive at your destination safe and sound.   
• Let weather, lighting, and trail conditions determine a safe speed.
• Ride straight—no alcohol or drugs.
• Stay to the right on trails and use your headlight and taillight.
• Maintain adequate spacing between machines to avoid collision.
• Reduce your speed when riding at night to less than 40 MPH. Studies have shown speed over 40 MPH results in over-driving your headlights.
• Always yield to other motor vehicles.
• Stay clear of thin ice and lake inlets — never cross open water.
• Never ride alone—use the buddy system.
• Stay on groomed area of trails.
 
According to stats maintained by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, there were 10 fatal snowmobile accidents in Minnesota last winter 2018 to 2019.  At least half of those fatal crashes involved alcohol use by the operator.  
 
Don’t become a statistic of a ride gone wrong this snowmobile season.  Ride safe and arrive alive.

My boyfriend was hit by a car and while all the attorneys he talked to said he didn't have much chance of a case, SiebenCarey took him on and gave him a fighting chance. He's still recovering, but SiebenCarey is making it a lot easier.

In need of a personal injury attorney? Well you're if you're reading this you're in the right place. You'd be hard pressed to find more competent attorneys than the ones here at SiebenCarey.

They took my case to trial and an amazing job presenting the facts and fighting for my best interests! Three years ago I was unsure of what my future would bring; now that it's over I can rest a bit easier. With SiebenCarey as my counsel, I believe I had the absolute BEST representation a person could've asked for. I knew that I wanted the absolute best representation when searching for an attorney to handle my case and I most definitely received it.

If you need a personal injury attorney, look no further. Can't recommend highly enough.
