Chicago Commuter Train Attorney

Trying to recover compensation from the Chicago Transit Authority after a bus accident, Chicago commuter train accident or a fall on CTA property can be surprisingly complicated and can present traps for the unwary.

When you are a passenger on a CTA bus or are riding on a CTA train, the CTA is considered a common carrier. This means the CTA must exercise the highest degree of care to assure your safety and prevent Chicago accidents. This is true from the time that you board the bus or train up until you have gotten off and reached a place of safety.

The CTA is frequently found liable for injuries to CTA passengers because of bus crashes, el train derailments and sudden stops. Dropping off bus passengers into hazards such as pot holes or broken concrete is also a problem.

Negligence claims can also be made against the CTA for Chicago accidents and injuries resulting from bus crashes with other vehicles, pedestrians being run over by CTA buses and trains, el trains striking vehicles, falls on CTA property and Chicago commuter train derailment.

The statute of limitations for cases involving the CTA is only one year from the date of accident.  Because of these short time limitations, it is strongly recommended that people with serious injuries contact an experienced Illinois accident attorney such as the bus and el train accident lawyers at the Law Offices of Barry G. Doyle, P.C.
