What Compensation Can You Recover After an ATV Accident?

Most victims in Wheeling are unaware they have legal rights when injured off-road. Whether you were riding a recreational vehicle behind Chariis Farm, traversing Forest Preserve District trails, or working on a private job site, you may be entitled to:

Medical Expenses and Long-Term Care

After an accident, you might require emergency and extended care from:

  • NorthShore Glenbrook Hospital
  • Advocate Lutheran General Hospital
  • Physical therapy at ATI Wheeling or Athletico Buffalo Grove

We recover costs for:

  • Immediate ER treatment
  • Ongoing rehab for spinal or orthopedic damage
  • Pain management and surgery

We seek full recovery for missed income, job loss, and diminished capacity.

Pain, Suffering, and Emotional Trauma

ATV crashes can cause more than just physical harm. Many clients develop PTSD or long-term anxiety after rollovers or collisions. We factor in the impact on:

  • Daily functioning
  • Family roles
  • Outdoor recreational life—especially if you rode near Des Plaines River Trail

Determining Liability in ATV Crashes

ATV liability is not limited to crashes with another vehicle. If your injury occurred on private property along Hintz Road or on undeveloped construction land near Dundee Road, we’ll help determine if:

  • Another rider acted recklessly
  • The property owner failed to maintain safe terrain
  • A faulty part from a retailer near Milwaukee Avenue contributed to the crash

We collect:

  • Police reports from Wheeling Police Department
  • Property maintenance records
  • Manufacturer recall histories on models like Polaris, Honda, or Yamaha

Understanding Illinois Laws for ATV Riders

Many Wheeling residents use ATVs recreationally or seasonally, but may not realize they still fall under state injury law protections. Key facts include:

  • Helmet Laws: Not required by Illinois, but lack of protection can impact your claim
  • Rider Age Limits: Supervision is legally required for riders under 16
  • Public Road Restrictions: Riding on public roads in Wheeling is illegal unless designated otherwise
