Family of dead ATV rider gets $3.6 million

Filed Under Torts, Palm Beach 

The family of a 13-year-old girl who was killed while riding on the back of an ATV won a $3.6 million jury verdict on Friday, according to a story in the Sun-Sentinel.

Paul Jacobs, the attorney who represented the parents of Sara Hennarichs, said the owners of the ATV knew that the warning stickers and manual stated that riders should be at least 16, the story said.

“They chose to ignore those warnings,” he said. “As a result of their ignoring warnings … Sara was allowed to take a joy ride and she had no idea what she was doing.”
