Hanover Township, located in northwestern Cook County, includes communities like Streamwood, Bartlett, Hanover Park, and parts of Elgin. With access to open land, forested preserves, and undeveloped property, ATVs are commonly used in this area, but not always safely or legally. Whether riding near Poplar Creek Forest Preserve, crossing Route 59, or navigating fields off Bode Road, ATV misuse can lead to serious injuries.
If you’ve been injured in an ATV crash—whether on a trail, vacant land, or suburban street—Chicago Injury Lawyer is here to fight for the compensation you deserve. We serve clients across Cook County and know how to build strong cases after off-road vehicle accidents.
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 Hanover Township
ATV accidents in Hanover Township often result from:
- Unauthorized Street Riding: Riders driving ATVs on suburban roads like Barrington Road, Lake Street, or Irving Park Road.
- Forest Preserve Crashes: Accidents in or near Poplar Creek, Arthur L. Janura Forest Preserve, or Brewster Creek due to poor trail conditions or crowding.
- Vacant Lot Hazards: Crashes caused by hidden ditches, fencing, or debris in undeveloped or private land.
- Mechanical Failures: Many ATVs used in these areas are older or modified, increasing risks of brake failure, steering issues, or throttle lock-ups.
If your crash involved one of these risks, a proven ATV Injury Claim Attorney can hold the responsible parties accountable.
Who Is Liable for an ATV Crash?
Liability for an ATV crash in Hanover Township may include:
- The Rider: If the operator was riding illegally or recklessly, they can be held directly responsible.
- Property Owners: Landowners who fail to warn riders of known hazards may be liable under premises liability law.
- Mechanics or Sellers: If a crash results from poor repairs or known defects, the ATV shop or seller may share liability.
- ATV Manufacturers: If your injury was caused by a design or production defect, we can pursue a product liability claim.
We investigate the crash scene, ATV condition, maintenance history, and all contributing factors to determine fault.
What Compensation Can You Recover After an ATV Accident?
Victims of ATV accidents in Hanover Township may be eligible to recover:
- Medical Expenses: ER treatment, imaging, surgery, and follow-up care from Ascension Saint Alexius, Advocate Sherman Hospital, or AMITA Health St. Joseph Hospital.
- Lost Wages: If you missed work, especially in construction, manufacturing, or service jobs prevalent in the area.
- Pain and Suffering: For emotional trauma, long-term pain, PTSD, or reduced mobility.
