Determining Liability in ATV Crashes

Many Alsip ATV accidents occur:

We collect reports from the Alsip Police Department, secure surveillance from area businesses, and consult engineers to reconstruct crash dynamics and determine fault.

Understanding Illinois Laws for ATV Riders

Even off-road riders are protected under Illinois injury laws. Here’s what Alsip riders should know:

• Helmets: Not legally required, but lack of a helmet may affect head injury claims
  
• Youth Restrictions: Riders under 16 must be supervised
  
• Public Road Ban: ATVs are not allowed on roads like Pulaski Road, 127th Street, or Cicero Avenue
  

Even if your crash occurred on private or undeveloped land, you may still have a case. Helpful resources:
