Quiroz v. Chicago Transit Authority

Summary

The Illinois Supreme Court held that the Chicago Transit Authority owed no duty of ordinary care to a trespasser who fell into a subway tunnel and was struck by a moving train, because the train was an open and obvious danger. The court also rejected a proposed affirmative duty to rescue or monitor security cameras and concluded that the complaint did not allege willful or wanton conduct. The court reversed the appellate court and affirmed dismissal of the complaint with prejudice.
