Reliable Help After an ATV Accident in Whiteside County
Our firm handles claims for ATV crash victims hurt in:
- Scenic trail routes near Sinnissippi Park and the Hennepin Canal Parkway.
- Farm access paths in rural areas around Tampico, Lyndon, and Albany Township.
- Riverfront riding paths near Fulton and Erie, where muddy terrain or flood water make conditions dangerous.
- Private recreational trails west of Morrison and open fields near Jordan Township.
- Grassland connectors between Rock Falls and Sterling, often ridden by teens and seasonal laborers.
Many riders in the area are teens or agricultural workers using ATVs for both work and recreation. When accidents happen, they often require trauma care at local hospitals with long-term rehab and occupational recovery support.
Common Causes of ATV Accidents in Whiteside County
We’ve seen crashes caused by:
- Rollovers on sloped farmland in Mount Pleasant and Genesee Townships.
- Trail erosion and poor maintenance near Rock Creek Parkway, Seward Bluff trails, and Heritage Canyon.
- Lack of supervision during teen rides in open fields outside Prophetstown or Deer Grove.
- Vehicle failures, especially with older or heavily used ATVs used on family farms.
- High-speed collisions with fencing, debris, or trees near the Mississippi River corridor.
Our attorneys conduct investigations with ATV mechanics, accident reconstructionists, and agricultural experts to reveal the truth behind your accident.
Who Can Be Held Liable in an ATV Accident?
In Whiteside County, liability might fall on:
- Landowners who failed to post safety warnings or denied trail maintenance.
- Other ATV riders, especially if operating recklessly.
- Rental companies not providing safe or maintained vehicles.
- Manufacturers of defective ATV parts or frames.
- Trail overseers or volunteer organizations maintaining paths near Morrison-Rockwood State Park.
We’ve helped riders who were hurt during group rides in Lyndon Township, equipment mishaps in Montmorency Township, collisions along shared-use paths near Sterling Township, and rollovers near Fenton.

- ER visits and diagnostic tests from CGH Medical Center, Morrison Community Hospital, and urgent care clinics in Rock Falls.

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. :)
