What is Transportation Litigation?
Transportation litigation covers legal claims involving public or private transportation providers—also known as common carriers.
These include:
- City and regional buses
- Passenger trains (e.g., Metra, Amtrak)
- Subways and trolleys
- Commercial trucking and delivery services
- School buses and tour buses
Common carriers have a legal duty to ensure the safety of passengers. When they breach this duty—through driver negligence, equipment failure, or inadequate maintenance—they can be held liable for the harm they cause.
Call us today for a free consultation at (312) 500-7944 or submit a case evaluation form online. We’re here to help you move forward.
Types of Transportation Cases We Handle
Bus Accidents
Chicago is home to one of the largest public transportation systems in the country. But bus accidents involving CTA, Pace, school buses, or charter buses can result in severe injuries. These cases are often complicated by government immunity laws, multiple liable parties, and tight filing deadlines. Our team has handled bus-related claims throughout Cook County and beyond, and we know how to hold transit authorities and private bus operators accountable.
Train Accidents
Train accidents are rare, but when they happen, the damage is devastating. Whether it’s a derailment, platform injury, or collision at a railroad crossing, victims deserve a legal team that understands both state and federal transportation regulations. We have experience investigating and litigating claims involving CTA trains, Metra, and Amtrak, and we know how to build strong cases against both public and private rail companies.
