What Compensation Can You Recover After an ATV Accident?
After an ATV crash, many victims are treated at Loyola University Medical Center, MacNeal Hospital, or Advocate Christ Medical Center. But care doesn’t stop there. Most clients face follow-up appointments, therapy, time off work, and emotional distress.
Medical Expenses and Long-Term Care
We help ATV crash victims recover compensation for:
- Emergency room treatment at Loyola or MacNeal
- Orthopedic, neurological, and trauma-related follow-ups
- Physical therapy from ATI Physical Therapy Justice or nearby centers
We include long-term care costs, such as home rehab, mobility aids, or surgical corrections, in our case valuation.
Compensation for Lost Wages
If you work in trades, logistics, or service jobs near Archer Road, Cork Avenue, or Justice Industrial Park, your recovery time can cost you income. We help recover:
- Lost wages from time off work
- Future income loss due to partial or permanent disability
- Lost bonuses or job promotions disrupted by injury
We work closely with your employer and healthcare team to document and prove these financial losses.
Pain, Suffering, and Emotional Trauma
Victims injured in crashes near Roberts Road, Justice Park, or service corridors near Willow Creek often report:
- PTSD, panic attacks, or emotional instability
- Loss of enjoyment in outdoor activities and family time
- Chronic pain that interferes with work and personal life
As your ATV Injury Claim Attorney, we make sure your emotional suffering and long-term pain are accounted for.

In Justice, ATV crashes often happen:

Understanding Illinois Laws for ATV Riders
Illinois law gives ATV injury victims the right to seek compensation, even for off-road crashes. Here’s what Justice riders should know:
- Helmet Use: Helmets are not required by state law, but may affect your injury claim if you suffered head trauma
- Age Rules: Riders under 16 must be supervised
- Public Road Prohibition: ATVs are banned on roads like Archer Avenue, Cork Avenue, and 79th Street
Crashes on private or shared-use land still qualify under personal injury laws. To understand your rights, see:
- Illinois DNR ATV Operation Guidelines
- Consumer Product Safety Commission – ATV Safety
- Illinois Vehicle Code – Off-Road Provisions
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. :)
