Injured in an ATV Accident in Pittsfield?
Many ATV accidents in Pittsfield and surrounding townships result in:
- Head trauma from ejection—common in crashes on steep ridges south of Lake Pittsfield, especially in late autumn when trails are obscured by leaves
- Spinal injuries and fractures caused by rollovers in hunting terrain near East Hannibal Road
- Crushing injuries while hauling feed, wood, or fencing across blufftop cattle farms near Pleasant Hill
We understand that these crashes don’t just impact your health—they threaten your job, independence, and way of life.
Common Causes of ATV Accidents in Illinois
In Pike County, many accidents are tied to:
- ATV rollovers on high-slope fields near Kinderhook and New Canton, often due to unmarked drainage or loose gravel
- Unsafe trail riding through unregulated timber areas south of Rockport, where riders often encounter unexpected wildlife or ruts
- Reckless operation by other riders during informal group outings along Hadley Creek or rural county lines
We investigate the cause of your crash to establish fault, no matter how remote the location.
Who Is Liable for an ATV Crash?
Liability can include:
- A third-party operator who acted carelessly
- A landowner who failed to warn about terrain hazards (like a washed-out culvert near Old Highway 36)
- An ATV manufacturer if your crash involved mechanical failure like throttle sticking or brake malfunction
We handle cases where crashes occur on private farmland, leased hunting tracts, or shared-use service roads—common in Pike County agriculture.
What Compensation Can You Recover After an ATV Accident?
Our team pursues full compensation for:
- Medical bills from Illini Community Hospital or transport to Blessing Hospital in Quincy
- Rehab and orthopedic care, including trips to Springfield or Jacksonville for specialized treatment
- Lost wages, especially for self-employed farmers, ranch hands, mechanics, or Pike County public works employees
- Pain and suffering, including PTSD, limited mobility, or chronic joint damage after rollovers on muddy cattle lanes near Milton

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. :)
