ATVs and other off-road vehicles aren’t just confined to rural areas—they’re increasingly seen in urban spots like Printers Row, especially on undeveloped land, abandoned railways, and warehouse-adjacent alleys. Crashes in this compact South Loop district, where foot traffic and freight intersections mix, can lead to severe injury. Whether the crash occurred near Dearborn Station, behind converted lofts on Polk Street, or near the Harold Washington Library, legal guidance is essential.

Common Causes of ATV Accidents in Illinois
Urban and suburban ATV crashes have unique causes:
- ATV rollover on uneven asphalt or alleyway debris
- Reckless driving ATV events involving modified vehicles on city sidewalks
- Unsafe trail riding near construction zones or restricted access property
Illinois law (625 ILCS 5/11-601) regulates proper vehicle operation and applies to off-road use. Violations such as speeding, trespassing, or reckless behavior are often grounds for civil claims.
Who Is Liable for an ATV Crash?
Liability is case-specific and may include:
- Third-party ATV injury: Crashes caused by another rider, vehicle, or cyclist on shared paths like State Street
- Property owner negligence: Injuries due to lack of signage or unprotected hazards on private land or commercial lots
- Product liability ATV: Malfunctions like brake failure, especially in rented or modified vehicles
Our investigation covers local intersections, CCTV footage from nearby buildings, and any contributing roadway conditions.
What Compensation Can You Recover After an ATV Accident?
Victims of ATV accidents can seek financial recovery for:
- ER and trauma care from Rush University Medical Center or Northwestern Memorial Hospital
- Rehabilitation and therapy for spinal injuries, fractures, or psychological trauma
- Lost income for professionals, service workers, or students in Printers Row impacted by the crash
- Pain and suffering tied to permanent injury, scarring, or PTSD
The law in Illinois (735 ILCS 5/13-202) gives you two years to file a personal injury claim. Work with an ATV Injury Claim Attorney to ensure timely and proper case filing.

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.

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. :)
