Recovering Damages in Public Transportation Accidents
Chicago Railroad Accident Lawyers at Clancy Law Offices

Public transportation injuries involve public agencies and specific regulations and laws that govern "public carriers". Clancy Law Offices, with offices in St. Charles and Chicago, Illinois, is prepared with the necessary research and legal resources to handle these often complicated, unique cases. Since public transportation entities like the CTA, RTA, Metra and Amtrak employ their own investigators and lawyers, it's important to hire a law firm that will protect your rights and conduct a thorough investigation. At the Clancy Law Offices, we consult with engineering, design, and industry experts in determining the causes of an accident. Our over 75 years of combined legal experience and knowledge of how to prepare expert cases is particularly important when dealing with public entities and governmental regulations.

Don't assume the same kinds of liability and statute of limitations requirements apply to injuries sustained on public transportation - contact the Chicago railroad accident lawyers at Clancy Law Offices today. Representing clients in throughout Chicago, including Evanston, Wheaton, Skokie, Oak Park, Schaumburg, Niles, and Hoffman Estates, we offer free consultations and are available for evening and weekend appointments.
