Wrigleyville, the energetic Chicago neighborhood surrounding Wrigley Field, is known for packed sidewalks, lively bars, and constant vehicle and foot traffic. Although ATVs are not legal on city streets, off-road vehicles are increasingly spotted on Clark Street, Addison, and in alleys behind Belmont Avenue. Their presence has led to a rise in injuries from illegal ATV operation in crowded public zones.
If you were injured in an ATV crash in Wrigleyville—whether while walking to a Cubs game, biking near Sheffield Avenue, or driving through the Clark corridor—Chicago Injury Lawyer is here to help. We fight for victims harmed by urban ATV misuse.
Call us now at 312-261-5656 for a free, no-obligation consultation, available 24/7. With our no-fee-unless-we-win policy, you can focus on your recovery while we handle the rest.
Common Causes of ATV Accidents in Wrigleyville, IL
Crashes involving ATVs in Wrigleyville are often linked to:
- Illegal Street Riding: ATVs speeding through Clark Street, weaving between traffic near Addison, or riding through pedestrian crossings.
- Alleyway Collisions: Riders cutting through tight service alleys behind restaurants, bars, and apartment buildings strike people or vehicles.
- Crowd Interference: Crashes often happen during events or game days when sidewalks near Wrigley Field are congested.
- Mechanical Failures: Poorly maintained or modified ATVs in urban areas frequently suffer from brake failure, steering issues, or engine stalling.
If your crash involved one of these factors, a seasoned ATV Injury Claim Attorney can help investigate and build your claim.
Who Is Liable for an ATV Crash?
In Wrigleyville, ATV accident liability may fall on:
- The Rider: Operating an ATV illegally and recklessly in city limits makes the rider primarily responsible.
- Property Owners: Injuries in unsafe alleys or lots behind bars or residences may lead to premises liability claims.
- Mechanics or Sellers: If the vehicle malfunctioned due to a repair error or known defect, the shop may be liable.
- Manufacturers: Design flaws or defective parts can form the basis of a product liability lawsuit.
Our team gathers surveillance footage, witness statements, and vehicle data to determine fault.
What Compensation Can You Recover After an ATV Accident?
Injured victims may be eligible to recover compensation for:
- Medical Bills: ER treatment, imaging, rehab, or surgeries at Illinois Masonic, Swedish Hospital, or Northwestern Memorial.
- Lost Wages: Especially for hospitality workers, gig drivers, or retail staff unable to return to work after an injury.
- Pain and Suffering: Physical pain, anxiety, loss of enjoyment of life, or lasting mobility limitations.
- Rehabilitation: Costs for physical therapy, medical devices, or home modifications for long-term recovery.
We pursue maximum compensation, not just minimal settlements from insurers.

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. :)
