Stretching across Chicago’s West and South Sides, Kedzie Avenue runs through multiple working-class neighborhoods where off-road riding has become increasingly common. From illegal ATV use on sidewalks and alleys to riding in vacant lots near Ogden, to cutting through traffic near 59th and Kedzie, urban ATV activity can lead to serious crashes and injuries.
At Chicago Injury Lawyer, we help victims of ATV accidents along Kedzie Avenue, from Albany Park to Chicago Lawn, recover full compensation. Whether your injury happened behind a storefront in Little Village, on an alley near Homan Square, or near the Kedzie Pink Line station, we’re here to help.
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.
Injured in an ATV Accident on or near Kedzie?
Common ATV crash zones include:
- Narrow alleys off Kedzie, especially between 16th and 26th Streets, where space is tight and visibility is poor
- Vacant lots or construction sites, particularly south of Cermak Road or west of Pulaski
- Heavily trafficked intersections, such as Kedzie & Chicago Avenue or Kedzie & Marquette Road, where ATVs may swerve between cars
- Sidewalk riding, especially in high-pedestrian areas around 59th Street or near Roosevelt Road
Typical injuries include:
- Fractures and dislocations, from impact or ejection
- Head injuries, including concussions and skull trauma
- Spinal injuries, caused by flips or side-impact crashes
- Internal trauma, including bruised organs and internal bleeding
Even if you were injured in an unregulated or illegal riding area, you may still be eligible for financial compensation.
Common Causes of ATV Accidents in the Kedzie Corridor
Crashes along Kedzie Avenue often happen due to:
- Reckless riding, especially during group rides or stunts performed in traffic
- Low lighting and unmarked hazards in back alleys and parking lots
- Mechanical failure, including brake issues or faulty steering on modified ATVs
- Negligent supervision of youth riders, especially near schools and playgrounds
We work with local crash investigators and use security footage, medical records, and witness statements to prove fault and secure your claim.
Who Is Liable for an ATV Crash?
In Kedzie-area ATV crashes, liability can fall on:
- Another rider, especially in group or stunt crashes
- A property owner, for dangerous alleyways, fencing, or exposed debris
- A city contractor, if a public hazard was left unmarked
- An ATV manufacturer or repair tech, if mechanical failure contributed
Whether the crash happened near Kedzie & Ogden, in the alleys behind 59th Street, or by a CTA station lot, we’ll pursue all responsible parties on your behalf.
What Compensation Can You Recover After an ATV Accident?
We help you recover damages for:
- Hospital and trauma care, often at Mt. Sinai, Rush, St. Anthony, or UChicago
- Surgery and physical therapy
- Lost wages, especially for laborers, delivery workers, and tradespeople
- Pain and suffering, including psychological distress, scarring, or disability

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. :)
