Legal Help After an ATV Crash in Will County
ATV accidents often occur in unexpected places—recreational riding near Hammel Woods, utility routes in Channahon, or on rural property near Wilmington. Victims often suffer severe injuries, from fractures and concussions to spinal trauma and internal injuries. We handle cases involving solo rider accidents, collisions, and equipment malfunctions.
In Will County, off-road riding is common on properties surrounding Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie, Pilcher Park, and private farmland in Elwood and Peotone. Our legal team is familiar with the terrain, liability risks, and how to navigate county-level courts to protect your rights.
Causes of ATV Accidents in Illinois
In our experience handling ATV crashes in Will County, these are some common causes:
- ATV rollovers on hilly terrain in Braidwood or muddy trails in Frankfort Township.
- Unsafe speeds, especially when riders operate near construction zones or rural access roads.
- Negligent operation by underage or unlicensed riders on trails outside Romeoville.
- Improper trail signage, often seen on utility paths or private land near Lockport.
- Defective equipment, such as brake or throttle failures, on newer ATVs.
We dig deep into accident scene evidence to determine if product defects, lack of supervision, or property owner negligence played a role.
Liability Evaluation for ATV Injury Claims
Identifying the liable party is critical. In Will County, responsible parties may include:
- A negligent ATV driver during a recreational or organized ride.
- A landowner who failed to mark dangerous areas or maintain trails.
- A manufacturer, if your ATV failed due to poor design or faulty components.
We have handled cases involving Joliet Park District trails, Will County Forest Preserve land, and farm-owned riding routes in Beecher. These insights help us tailor your claim based on the location and incident type.
Representation for Full Compensation Recovery
Our legal team helps recover damages for a range of economic and non-economic losses:
- Medical treatment from hospitals like Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox or Ascension Saint Joseph – Joliet.
- Rehabilitation costs for long-term injury recovery.
- Lost wages or lost future earnings.
- Pain and suffering, including emotional trauma.
- Vehicle and property damage to ATVs and personal equipment.
A seasoned ATV Injury Claim Attorney can help you value every part of your claim and negotiate assertively.

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. :)
