Immediate Legal Guidance After an ATV Crash in Fulton County
Our team has experience handling ATV accident cases from:
- Spring Lake Nature Area and Rice Lake State Fish & Wildlife Area.
- Private farmland trails near Banner, Marietta, and Bernadotte Township.
- **Off-road riding areas along the Spoon River Valley Scenic Drive, especially near London Mills.
- Unregulated paths behind Canton’s school campuses and residential fields.
- Trails near Fulton County Camping & Recreation Area, a known spot for off-road activity.
We understand that rural accidents often involve delayed emergency response, few direct witnesses, and complicated land ownership. We navigate these challenges to help you recover.
Common ATV Crash Causes in Fulton County
Typical crash scenarios in this region include:
- Rollover crashes on sloped terrain in Woodland Township and Orion Township.
- Ejection injuries from trail erosion or unmarked drop-offs, particularly near Table Grove and Fairview Hills.
- Mechanical failures, especially with older ATVs used for agricultural tasks.
- Unsupervised youth use, common in rural family properties in Ellisville, Vermont, and Ipava.
- Weekend riding accidents involving alcohol, especially after events or trail meetups.
We review property use history, vehicle maintenance records, and rider safety to determine fault.
Who May Be Held Liable for an ATV Crash?
Responsibility can lie with:
- Private property owners, when unsafe trail conditions or missing warning signs lead to injuries.
- Other riders, especially during organized rides along county roads or forested areas.
- Manufacturers or retailers, if defects or poor maintenance instructions contributed to the crash.
- Event or ride organizers, when safety briefings or vehicle checks were not conducted.
We’ve handled cases from the Copperas Creek region, forest access points around Little America, and crash zones along State Route 9, where trail access merges with active roadways.

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. :)
