Introduction
Pullman is located on Chicago’s South Side and is situated adjacent to Lake Calumet and includes the neighborhood of Cottage Grove Heights. Pullman has a number of historic and architecturally important buildings, including Hotel Florence. Pullman was nominated as one of Illinois’ Seven Wonders by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.
Transportation
Pullman is served by two Metra Lines at the Kensington/115th Street station and Pullman/111th Street stations. The Chicago Transit Authority operates city bus route #111-Pullman.
The area also has access to Lyft/Uber rideshare services and taxi services. Unfortunately, this means that rideshare accidents, pedestrian accidents, motor vehicle accidents, and public transportation accidents can be common in the area.

When sending your child off to school you assume they will remain safe, however, this isn’t always the case. School bus accidents, gym and physical education accidents, lack of supervision, daycare accidents, playground injuries, and school district negligence are just a few examples of the types of school injury cases America’s Consumer Lawyer has experience with.
Attractions
Pullman is home to some activities and attractions, which include:
- Gately Park

While most of the time spent at these Pullman attractions will be enjoyable and uneventful, accidents can occur, including premises accidents, slip and falls, bicycle accidents, bus accidents, car accidents, drinking and driving, dog bites, and playground accidents.
