Lemont Township, covering parts of Cook, DuPage, and Will Counties, offers a mix of suburban development, wooded preserves, and rural farmland—ideal for ATV use but also prone to accidents. Riders often travel through Sag Valley Forest Preserve, Des Plaines River trails, and vacant land near Archer Avenue, 127th Street, and State Street. With trails, hills, and industrial corridors surrounding Lemont, the risk of ATV rollovers and collisions is high.

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 Lemont Township
ATV crashes in Lemont often result from:
- Off-Trail Riding: Accidents happen when riders cut through quarries, powerline corridors, or forest preserve boundaries.
- Rural Property Hazards: Hidden ditches, fences, or debris on private farmland or industrial sites near New Avenue or McCarthy Road.
- Mechanical Failures: Aging or modified ATVs frequently experience brake failure, steering problems, or throttle issues.
- Reckless Operation: Speeding, carrying passengers, or underage riders—especially on unmarked trails or service roads.
If your crash occurred due to any of these causes, a skilled ATV Injury Claim Attorney can help investigate and file a claim on your behalf.
Who Is Liable for an ATV Crash?
In Lemont Township, multiple parties may be responsible for an ATV accident:
- The Rider: If someone else operated the ATV recklessly, they may be held directly accountable.
- Property Owners: If your crash occurred on unsafe private land, the owner may be liable for not warning about known hazards.
- Mechanics or Sellers: If the ATV was defective due to poor service or undisclosed mechanical issues, a repair shop or seller may share liability.
- Manufacturers: If the crash resulted from design flaws or faulty parts, you may file a product liability lawsuit.
We gather physical evidence, ATV maintenance records, and crash scene data to build your case.
What Compensation Can You Recover After an ATV Accident?
You may be entitled to recover:
- Medical Expenses: ER visits, surgery, physical therapy, and follow-up care from Silver Cross Hospital, Advocate Good Samaritan, or Loyola Medical Center.
- Lost Wages: If your injuries prevent you from working, particularly in construction, logistics, or labor jobs prevalent in the area.
- Pain and Suffering: Including chronic pain, emotional trauma, PTSD, and loss of mobility or lifestyle.
- Rehabilitation & Support: Long-term therapy, mobility equipment, or home modifications for lasting injuries.
We pursue full and fair compensation that reflects your total physical and financial damages.

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.

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. :)
