Introduction
South Shore is located on Chicago’s South Side and is named for its location along the city’s lakefront. Predominantly an African-American neighborhood, South Shore is one the most densely populated neighborhoods on the South Side.
Transportation
South Shore has five stations along the South Chicago Branch of the Metra Electric District and is accessible by Busses #6 and #71 and the Chicago “L” Green Line.
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.
Demographics
South Shore has a population of 51,451 in its 2.99 square miles with a median household income of $26,425 according to the most recent U.S. Census.
Education
South Shore students are primarily serviced by the City of Chicago School District, as well as charter schools and private schools, which include Urban Prep Academies and the Mohammed University of Islam.
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
South Shore is home to many activities and attractions, which include:
- Stony Island Arts Bank
- Mosque Maryam
- Rainbow Beach
- South Shore Nature Sanctuary
- Roseblum Park
- Nash Community Center
- Woodhull Park
While most of the time spent at these 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.
