Local Experience With Complex Transit Claims

We Know How to Handle Cases Against Government Entities

In Illinois, transit injury claims often involve government agencies like the CTA or Metra. These cases have stricter deadlines and require a different legal process than regular personal injury claims. We have experience navigating these complexities and pursuing timely, well-documented claims on behalf of our clients.



We also handle cases against private companies like charter buses or rideshare vans involved in local transportation.

What to Know About Bus & Train Injury Cases

  • Can I sue the CTA or Metra after an injury?

    If you were hurt because someone else was careless—whether it’s a driver, business, or property owner—you may have a personal injury claim. We’ll review your case for free and let you know your options.



  • What if I was injured getting on or off the bus or train?

    You may still have a valid claim. Many injuries happen during boarding due to operator negligence, defective steps, or improper stops.

  • What if the crash wasn’t the driver’s fault?

    You can still recover compensation if poor maintenance, mechanical failure, or other forms of negligence contributed to your injury.

  • Can I file a claim as a pedestrian hit by a bus or train?

    In most Illinois personal injury cases, you have 2 years from the date of the injury—but don’t wait. The sooner we get involved, the stronger your case can be.

  • What compensation can I recover?

    Medical bills, lost income, disability, emotional trauma, and long-term care costs—every case is different, and we’ll help you understand your specific options.
