In West Ridge, ATV use is rising in alleys, vacant lots, and unpaved construction corridors. Riders—especially teens and gig workers—often use ATVs for recreation or short-distance utility riding between Devon Avenue, California Avenue, and Western Avenue. But the risks of navigating unregulated paths, broken sidewalks, and narrow alleyways are high.

Injured in an ATV Accident in West Ridge?
Crashes involving ATVs in West Ridge commonly occur in:
- Back alleys between apartment complexes, particularly near North California Avenue
- Vacant construction lots off Western Avenue, where potholes, debris, and unpaved zones can cause ejections or rollovers
- Crowded delivery zones near Devon Market, where fast stops and tight corners increase risk
Victims are often children, undocumented laborers, or uninsured riders who believe they don’t have legal options. That’s not true—if your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence or equipment failure, you may still qualify for recovery.
Common Causes of ATV Accidents in Illinois
Urban ATV crashes are often tied to:
- ATV rollovers on broken or uneven pavement near Warren Park or behind multi-flat residences on Bell Avenue
- Unsafe trail riding through informal paths along Skokie Boulevard rail embankments
- Reckless riding during nighttime outings on unlit stretches of Lunt and Pratt Avenues
Whether your crash happened in an alley, a lot, or near a community park, we investigate all conditions that contributed to your injuries.
Who Is Liable for an ATV Crash?
In West Ridge, liability may fall on:
- A reckless co-rider during group riding through West Devon alleys
- A property owner or manager who failed to remove hazards from shared-use lots
- A mechanical manufacturer if your ATV’s brakes, tires, or electronics failed without warning
If you were hurt behind a Ridge Boulevard storefront, on park district property, or while operating an ATV near your apartment, we’ll evaluate who had the legal responsibility for your safety.
What Compensation Can You Recover After an ATV Accident?
We pursue comprehensive damages for our clients, including:
- Emergency care at AMITA Health St. Francis, Swedish Hospital, or Presence Saint Francis
- Ongoing physical therapy and mental health support, especially for victims suffering PTSD or long-term pain
- Lost income, particularly for delivery workers, cleaners, or small business employees serving Devon Avenue, California Avenue, or Western Ridge Business District
- Pain and suffering, including emotional trauma and loss of physical freedom

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. :)
