Injured in an ATV Accident in Central Park?
Common crash sites in this urban corridor include:
- Sidewalks and crosswalks near schools and churches along Central Park Avenue
- Alleyways and parking lots behind homes or businesses near Roosevelt Road
- Community parks, including Douglas Park and Homan Square Green Space, where riders may perform stunts or cut across fields
- Empty lots or construction zones, especially near Ogden Avenue or Pulaski Road, used for unauthorized riding
These crashes often result in:
- Fractured bones, including wrists, arms, and collarbones
- Head trauma or concussions, especially when struck suddenly or thrown from a vehicle
- Spinal and back injuries, from flips, collisions, or violent ejections
- Cuts, road rash, and burns from contact with fences, gravel, or debris
Even if the rider fled or the crash happened off-road, you may still qualify for compensation.
Common Causes of ATV Accidents in West Side Neighborhoods
Frequent causes of ATV crashes in Central Park and surrounding areas include:
- Illegal riding on sidewalks and streets, often during weekend joyrides or group stunts
- Unlicensed or underage riders, without proper gear or supervision
- Modified or malfunctioning ATVs, often bought used or shared between multiple users
- Crowded pedestrian conditions, where visibility is limited and escape paths are narrow
Our attorneys build strong claims using security footage, medical records, witness statements, and scene photos to prove fault and secure recovery.
Who Is Liable for an ATV Crash?
Depending on your situation, liability could fall on:
- The ATV operator, for negligence or reckless riding
- A property owner if they allowed unsafe ATV use or failed to address known hazards
- A parent or guardian, if a minor caused the crash
- An ATV manufacturer or repair shop, in cases involving mechanical failure
Whether your crash occurred near Douglas Boulevard, Ogden, or Central Park & Roosevelt, we’ll identify who’s responsible and fight for your compensation.
What Compensation Can You Recover After an ATV Accident?
We help injury victims recover for:
- Emergency care and hospital bills, typically handled by Mount Sinai, St. Anthony, or Rush University Medical Center
- Rehabilitation, surgery, and long-term therapy
- Lost income, including wages from part-time jobs, delivery work, or small businesses
- Pain and suffering, covering both physical and emotional trauma

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. Scorpion Solar2024-10-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. BEYOND satisfied with the services & representation! 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. :)
