St. Charles, IL Public Transportation Accident Lawyer
Businesses and public transit authorities that operate cabs, buses and trains have a legal duty to provide for the safety and safe transit of the people they serve. What you may not know is that mass transit accidents involving public transit authorities may also involve specific regulations and laws. These regulations can limit the amount of time you have to file a claim, change the way your claim must be filed and even serve to limit the transportation authority's liability to you.
At Clancy Law, we understand the breach of trust that occurs when public transportation is operated unsafely and innocent people are hurt. We also believe that the injured are entitled to justice. What we do is use the more than 75 years of combined experience our lawyers have to see justice prevail for our clients and their families.
The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA), the Regional Transit Authority (RTA), Metra, Pace, Amtrak and other "common carriers" will send their own attorneys and investigators to the scene of an accident as quickly as possible. These people won't be there to look out for your interests. Contact our lawyers and let us start working to protect your rights.
Using Our Resources to Make a Difference

Our knowledge of the Chicago area transportation authorities and companies, and our knowledge of how to investigate and prepare complex cases is especially valuable when dealing with public entities and governmental regulations.
