In the Kedzie–Homan corridor, ATV use continues to rise, especially in vacant lots, alleyways, and undeveloped land parcels that stretch between North Lawndale, Garfield Park, and Douglas Park. Riders often zip through Kedzie Avenue, cross empty industrial properties near West Roosevelt Road, or perform stunts on Homan Avenue, putting themselves and others at serious risk.

Injured in an ATV Accident Near Kedzie or Homan?
ATV crashes in this area frequently happen:
- In alleys between Kedzie and Homan, where trash bins, curbs, and broken pavement create dangerous paths
- On abandoned lots and former industrial grounds, where riders may hit debris or unmarked fencing
- During group rides, where multiple ATVs travel in packs, often at night or without helmets
- On sidewalks or residential roads, especially near Douglas Boulevard, 16th Street, and Pulaski
Victims may suffer:
- Fractured limbs and dislocations from impacts or rollovers
- Head injuries and concussions, often when helmets are not used
- Back and spine injuries, especially from high-speed crashes or flips
- Cuts, scrapes, and burns, caused by metal, asphalt, or debris
If you were injured due to another rider’s actions, poor land conditions, or mechanical failure, you may have a valid claim—even without a police report.
Common Causes of ATV Accidents in Lawndale and Garfield Park
In this West Side region, ATV crashes are commonly caused by:
- Reckless riding, including speeding, weaving through cars, or popping wheelies on public roads
- Unlit, debris-filled alleys, especially those behind South Homan Avenue homes
- Improper ATV maintenance, including failed brakes or stuck throttles
- Unmarked hazards in empty lots—concrete rubble, barbed wire, or fencing
We gather video footage, medical records, and eyewitness accounts to build your case from the ground up.
Who Is Liable for an ATV Crash?
Liability may rest with:
- Another rider, for reckless driving or failing to follow traffic signals
- A landowner, for dangerous property conditions in vacant lots or alleys
- A vehicle manufacturer or repair shop, in cases involving defective parts
- A construction or maintenance company, if hazards were left exposed near a work site
Whether your crash occurred on Kedzie Avenue, in the alleys off Homan, or along 19th Street, we identify all responsible parties and fight to hold them accountable.

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. :)
