Bicycle Accidents

Have You Suffered an Injury Riding Your Bicycle Because a Car Turned in Front of You, Failed to Share the Road or Cut you Off?

We Can Help.

It is amazing how little regard motorists have for bicyclists who are legally riding on the roadway. Unfortunately, accidents and collisions are common for bicyclists because automobile drivers are inattentive, fail to share the road, or do not give bicyclists sufficient room while riding. Since a bicycle rider is relatively unprotected in a collision, the injuries suffered are often serious and can be fatal. We are experienced and effective bicycle accident attorneys and offer you prompt and professional services that are tailored to your individual claim.

This is where your time and energy should be devoted, not to haggling with insurance adjusters or learning how to process an insurance claim. We understand insurance claims and are experienced dealing with adjusters. We'll protect your legal rights, handle the paperwork and fight to get you the compensation you deserve.

Testimonials

"I was run over by a car riding my bicycle and suffered significant injuries. Ken was recommended to me by a mutual friend. I couldn't have been happier with his representation and I'm still bragging about him. He helped me through this difficult period, and when it came to our mediation, Ken won the day!"
