In Lawndale, ATV riding has become increasingly visible, especially in vacant lots, alleyways, and unregulated urban spaces between Ogden Avenue, Kedzie, and Cicero. Riders—many of them teens or delivery workers—use ATVs for recreation or fast transport in areas not designed for off-road vehicles. But in neighborhoods like North Lawndale and Little Village, these rides often result in severe crashes.
At Chicago Injury Lawyer, we represent ATV accident victims in Lawndale, Garfield Park, Pilsen, and other nearby West Side neighborhoods. Whether your crash happened on West Roosevelt Road, in an alley behind Central Park Avenue, or near Douglas Park, we’re ready to fight for your compensation.
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 in Lawndale?
Common Lawndale crash zones include:
- Unpaved alleys behind apartment buildings, where riders flip or strike dumpsters and debris
- Vacant lots near train tracks or abandoned properties, often used for informal trail riding
- Sidewalks and service roads near Ogden and Pulaski, where riders mix with traffic and pedestrians
Common injuries include:
- Fractured wrists and collarbones from sudden turns or flips
- Head trauma, especially in crashes involving riders without helmets
- Cuts, abrasions, and crush injuries from debris, fences, or impact with structures
Whether you were the rider, a pedestrian, or another motorist hit by an ATV, our team helps you build a case backed by local knowledge, documentation, and legal precision.
Common Causes of ATV Accidents in Lawndale
In West Side neighborhoods like Lawndale, crashes often result from:
- Riding on uneven, unmarked terrain, especially behind vacant lots on 16th Street or 13th Street
- Illegal or unlicensed ATV operation, particularly by minors or unsupervised teens
- Lack of visibility in poorly lit alleyways or behind older commercial buildings
- Poor vehicle maintenance, such as bald tires, failing brakes, or modified throttle systems
Even if the crash occurred in an unofficial riding area, you may still have a claim if someone else’s negligence contributed to your injury.
Who Is Liable for an ATV Crash?
Responsibility may fall on:
- Another rider, especially in informal group rides common behind Douglas Boulevard
- A landowner, if the crash happened on private property that was unsafe or improperly secured
- An equipment manufacturer or seller, in cases involving mechanical failure
- A city contractor or building owner, if hazards were left unmarked near public pathways
Whether your crash happened in North Lawndale, South Lawndale (Little Village), or near California Avenue’s commercial strip, we investigate fully and pursue every angle of legal accountability.
What Compensation Can You Recover After an ATV Accident?
We help clients recover damages for:
- Emergency care and hospitalization at Mount Sinai Hospital, St. Anthony, or Rush University Medical Center
- Rehabilitation, physical therapy, and long-term orthopedic care
- Lost income, especially for working-class residents, delivery riders, or tradespeople, unable to return to work
- Pain and suffering, including trauma, PTSD, and loss of mobility

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. :)
