Bremen Township covers parts of Oak Forest, Midlothian, Tinley Park, Markham, and other south suburban communities. While ATV use is banned on public roads in Illinois, it’s common to see riders in alleyways, vacant lots, and open fields near Cicero Avenue, Pulaski Road, and 159th Street. With no helmets, no regulations, and high speeds, these off-road vehicles pose real threats in suburban neighborhoods.
If you’ve been injured in an ATV accident in Bremen Township—whether riding, walking, or driving—Chicago Injury Lawyer is ready to help. We hold negligent riders, property owners, and manufacturers accountable for the harm they cause.
Call us now at 312-261-5656 for a free, no-obligation consultation, available 24/7. With our no-fee-unless-we-win policy, you can focus on your recovery while we handle the rest.
Common Causes of ATV Accidents in Bremen Township
ATV crashes in this part of southern Cook County often involve:
- Illegal Street Riding: ATVs speeding on residential streets or cutting across Cicero, Pulaski, or Central Avenue, causing collisions.
- Park and Trail Collisions: Off-road vehicles entering public areas like Bremen Heights Park, Memorial Park, or forest preserve trails endangering pedestrians and cyclists.
- Back Alley & Lot Hazards: Accidents in poorly lit alleys or lots behind retail strips or apartment buildings.
- Mechanical Failures: Many urban ATVs are older or modified, leading to brake failure, throttle issues, or steering malfunctions.
If you were hurt under any of these conditions, a trusted ATV Injury Claim Attorney can help file a claim and pursue compensation.
Who Is Liable for an ATV Crash?
In Bremen Township, depending on the facts, the following parties may be held liable:
- The ATV Rider: If they were riding illegally, unsafely, or under the influence, they may be directly responsible for your injuries.
- Property Owners: If the crash happened in an unsafe alley, lot, or yard, and hazards weren’t marked, the landowner may be liable.
- Mechanics or Sellers: A faulty repair or concealed defect can shift blame to a shop or private seller.
- Manufacturers: If the ATV had a design or production flaw, you may file a product liability claim.
We use photos, police reports, video evidence, and mechanical inspections to build a strong case.
What Compensation Can You Recover After an ATV Accident?
Victims of ATV crashes in Bremen Township may be entitled to:
- Medical Bills: Treatment from Advocate South Suburban Hospital, Palos Hospital, or trauma care in Christ Medical Center.
- Lost Wages: Especially important for workers in trades, logistics, retail, or education sectors.
- Pain and Suffering: Emotional trauma, long-term pain, PTSD, or permanent injury.
- Rehabilitation & Equipment: Physical therapy, mobility aids, or home modifications for long-term recovery.
We pursue full and fair compensation, not just what insurers offer upfront.

EXCELLENT Based on 315 reviews Kat Chow2024-11-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't stress enough how grateful I am that we hired Paul Marriett to help us with our case. His communication was not only timely and thorough but also understandable. He did a phenomenal job guiding us through the process and preparing us for the courtroom, which put our minds at ease. Once our hearing came, he did his job flawlessly and won our case. Additionally, he was quite pleasant to speak with when our judge was behind schedule and while the court was in recess. I highly recommend him to anyone needing an attorney and will reach out again in the future should we ever need representation. angel martinez2024-11-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very professional and helpful! I would recommend to all my friends and family to hire him. He was eager to know the circumstances of my case even before I hired him. I did contact other lawyers and offices, but none came close to the comfort I felt while talking to Mr. Marriertt, I really felt like he cared about the situation I found myself in. He deserves 6 stars for going above and beyond John Harker2024-11-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul helped me out with a traffic citation. The communication was great as he walked me through my options and what to expect with my court date and plea deal. 10/10 service. Highly recommended. Thanks again, Paul. Ryan H.2024-11-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul was very professional, sharp dressed and clearly a notch above most in the courtroom. He understood my plight and refused to be bullied. Knows the law to a T....I'm keeping him on speed dial. I think u will trust him too.

The communication & efforts have been above & BEYOND! Amazing price as well for a minor traffic hiccup. 11/10 recommend & prefer this firm for any future occurrences!!! Very transparent, & puts in the effort to help you!!! Zak Green2024-10-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you are needing a lawyer in Rockford or the surrounding areas this is the guy you need to get ahold of! Do not waste your time or money going to someone else.... From the very start Mr. Marriett was on top of his job. I called several lawyers before him and he was the first to thoroughly explain everything I needed to hear without even asking him to. The definition of a great lawyer. Each time we went to court he always let me know ahead of time either in person or via phone what the expectations or options would be going in. I highly recommend Paul Marriett if you are in need of a lawyer! Kelli2024-10-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Explained everything well. Kept us informed. I'm glad we found him. bruce paulson2024-10-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am very late on sharing my feedback only because I’m google illiterate. Attorney Merriett did a very smart excellent job for me and not real expensive considering how stupid I was to get in trouble . Thank you! For all your professionalism! Bruce P. Austin “i like trains” Arvey2024-10-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service and a reliable lawyer. I'm glad we got him instead of getting anyone else. :)
