The Chicago L train is a form of CTA transportation that runs on eight different “lines” which have their own routes in various areas all throughout Chicago, but focused on the Loop. according to the CTA, on an average weekday, about 1.6 million people use their public transportation. With so many people, there is an inevitable chance for accidents. If you or a loved one has been injured in a Chicago L train accident, contact us for a free consultation to see if you may be entitled to compensation.

 What kinds of accidents can occur?

L train accidents can come in many forms. Sudden stops, defective seats, and possibly train derailment can all cause significant injury. The common carrier law includes any public transportation and holds that these entities owe those using it the highest duty of care. When this duty of care is breached in an accident, then it may be a case of negligence, and you can receive compensation for the damages and injuries that you suffered as a result.

What should I do after an L train accident?

In an L train accident, you should try to remain calm and try to take photos of the accident, if that is possible. As soon as you can, you should seek medical attention. If you suspect that your duty of care was breached in a case of negligence, then you should speak to an attorney about your rights and how we can help you to get justice. You may suffer from some severe injuries depending on the type of accident that occurred, but we can help you to resolve the issues that you have had to face as a result of this accident.

Keep in mind that the Illinois legislature has made the statute of limitations for CTA accidents only one year, as opposed to other personal injury lawsuits being two years. This means that you would have to file a lawsuit for your accident within one year of its date for it to be considered at all by the court.
