Compensation For Mass Transit Accident Victims
Public transportation law provides clear rights to users of mass transit. These laws protect the passengers of airlines, trains, buses, limousines, taxicabs and even elevators and escalators. In the event of an accident, the victim has the right to take action against the transportation provider.

Types of Mass Transit Accidents
Transit companies may be held accountable for any accident that occurs on their vehicles or in any of their facilities. For example, the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) may be held accountable not only for accidents on the L, but for slip and fall accidents that happen in their stations.
Other types of accidents include:
- Excessive speed
- Sudden breaking and stops
- Doors closing on limbs
- Leaving the stop too soon
- Collision with bus or other mass transit vehicle
- Improper maintenance of stations, floors, stairs, seats, windows or doors leading to injury
- Platform assaults/negligent station security
