Client
I cannot recommend Flanzig & Flanzig enough!! Daniel has been so kind and caring throughout the entire nightmare process of both the accident and lawsuit. You can tell he genuinely cares about his clients and is passionate about his work. He is also a cyclist himself, so he definitely can empathize and advocates for a safer city for cyclists! Thank you beyond words to all at Flanzig & Flanzig. It is because of you wonderful people that I was able to get the treatment I needed and return back to working condition in one of the most terrifying times of my life! I am forever grateful. If you’re looking for a personal injury lawyer, look no further!

Flanzig & Flanzig, LLP - Exceptional lawyers and team
After an unfortunate biking accident involving several cyclists versus a car, Dan and Cathy were fantastic in guiding me through the whole legal and insurance process. From helping me understand my rights, my insurance coverage, the no-fault process, to even dealing with many medical insurance issues, I always felt I was in expert and friendly hands from the beginning to the end of my complex situation. In addition to Dan and Cathy being an absolute pleasure to deal with, their staff (Rina, Debbie and Pat) are also very friendly, professional, capable members of their team. Their offices are easy to get to in Mineola with no problem finding parking, as they have their own private parking lot. I am not sure what I would have done without the support, expertise and experience I received from Flanzig & Flanzig. I highly recommend them if you want to be well taken care of and deal with an attentive, responsive, well-organized team, having them handle all your legal matters while you focus on your injuries and seeing the appropriate doctors for your care.

Incredibly Helpful!
My son was in a bike accident where he was doored, leaving him with a 2-inch scar on his face. Dan and Flanzig & Flanzig were incredibly responsive. They helped us navigate the no-fault insurance system and hefty medical bills -- and ultimately got us an appropriate settlement at a reasonable cost. Definitely recommend Dan and his firm--they are fair, honest, and know what they're doing!

Made a stressful situation 1000x easier!
I have only the best things to say about my experience with Daniel Flanzig. Before the pandemic, I was injured in a bike accident while on a trip to NYC. In the months that followed, I had to have major surgery and navigate dozens of different medical billing systems from all these different places—in NY and in my home state. I was overwhelmed and intimidated and feeling a bit lost. Being a full time mom, the accident disrupted my entire world, and I didn’t know how we would cover all the costs of my injury. Lots of people warned me that getting into a lawsuit would completely take over my life, but I truly did not know what else to do. I did a quick search and reached out to a few different lawyers to see if we had a case. One of the offices I reached out to was Flanzig & Flanzig. Daniel called me the same day and talked me through the entire process. He was professional, compassionate, and immediately put me at ease. After we decided to proceed, he and his office made sure I knew what was going on throughout the whole process—including keeping me updated throughout the many delays caused by the pandemic. He answered all of my questions and guided me through every step. At the same time, I also never felt like the lawsuit had taken over my life—Daniel and his team took care of every detail and worked through so many issues on my behalf (especially all the issues involved with me being out of state). As a mom, that flexibility meant everything to our family. Now that the case it over, I’m so grateful that all my financial troubles after the accident are gone! Working with Daniel Flanzig was truly one of the best decisions I made during such a traumatic, stressful time. It’s no wonder Flanzig & Flanzig been rated so highly for so many years. They know what they’re doing, and they will absolutely get you the support you need! They made a stressful situation 10x easier. I can’t recommend them enough! If you’re in the unfortunate position of needing a personal injury lawyer, do not hesitate to reach out. You won’t regret it.

These guys are complete life savers.
After a biking accident involving a taxi, I was left scrambling trying to understand the no-fault insurance system and medical bills. It was a nightmare until Flanzig and his team took over. Daniel himself is real--he always answered tho phone and responded promptly to my concerning emails. He explained everything to me in layman language I could understand and made the process feel seamless and easy. His team were always on point--updating me, answering my questions, explaining the ABCs of the legal world to me. I cannot thank them enough. In the end, they took what would have been a disaster and literally a whole other full time job to take care of myself and absolved me of the burden. I am endlessly in their debt for taking care of me and helping me through it all. With their legal expertise, I was given a hefty settlement. And on top of that, the firm adjusted the expenses they accrued on the case so that they took home less and I could take home more. What can you say to that!!? The most human of lawyers I have ever fallen upon. :)

Daniel Flanzig is a top-notch personal injury lawyer.
Daniel Flanzig and his firm gave me expert advice in regards to the best options to take to resolve my bicycle accident case. He went above and beyond my expectations. Daniel kept me informed every step of the way. I received a settlement in less than 6 months after the accident. All medical bills were paid by the defendent's insurance company. I was also compensated for personal property damages caused by the accident. Daniel Flanzig is truly one of the best. Thank you!

Got the Job Well Done
As a fellow cyclist Daniel Flanzig understood my situation. He is professional, and clearly had the experience to give me a realistic assessment of my case. His office was great in helping me navigate all of the insurance company and medical forms that you will have to deal with if you were the victim of an accident. And at the end of the day, I recently cashed my settlement check. Thanks Daniel.

The BEST attorneys for cyclists
I was doored when riding my bike in Brooklyn. I broke my hand in the accident and had surgery plus pins inserted to repair it. I hired Flanzig & Flanzig as my personal injury lawyers and I am so glad that I did! They handled every step of the process. My medical bills were fully covered through No Fault, which they immediately set up for me and I won enough money in the settlement to be able to make a down payment on a home. Cathy expertly prepped me for the deposition and fought hard to have my check sent to me in a timely manner after we settled. Hiring this team to represent me was one of the best decisions I've ever made. They helped turn my very painful experience into something positive and I am so grateful. Flanzig & Flanzig are true advocates for New York's bike-riding community! I would recommend them to anyone.

Bike Crash Resolution
Dan and his staff was instrumental in getting a fair settlement after a long delayed process held up by an unresponsive and uncooperative insurance company. Dan was always available to answer any questions before, during and after the process. There was never a delay on getting an accurate response from Dan. Dan’s extensive knowledge of cycling and cycling related crashes helps move the process along. There’s no way anyone can navigate this process without prior knowledge and plenty of experience. I’d like to also point out that Flanzig and Flanzig supports, contributes and gives back to the local cycling community in many ways. Along with sponsoring local USA Cycling races at Randalls Island, the Kissena Velodrome and the 5Boro Bike Tour, Flanzig and Flanzig supports LBS and local clubs. Support the small business that supports the cycling community.

Great experience, highly recommend!
Great experience working with Flanzig & Flanzig! I connected with Daniel after a bike accident, and he helped me navigate the yearslong legal process that ensued, including all the legal forms, depositions, medical exams, settlement process, etc. He was always super friendly and responsive, and got the job done. There is no way I could have navigated this process without his help. I recommend him and his firm extremely highly for anyone unfortunate enough to be involved in an accident.

The Firm that Delivers More than Promised!
When I was hit by a car on July 15th, 2019, I had no clue what to do. My friend told me about Flanzig and Flanzig personal injury firm, which specializes in accidents involving cyclists. Upon contact, I was guaranteed that everything would be taken care of...and they delivered what they had promised. All in all, I highly recommend this firm to anyone who is looking for professional help in their matter.

Bike crash - best resolution possible!
Cathy is the ultimate in responsive and caring about your case. She made sure that the insurance company took my case seriously, as the adjuster had little experience with bikes, their replacement costs, and the level of the injuries sustained at speed. She educated them along the way and made sure I got my due. Without Cathy, it's clear my case would have been a battle with them to get anywhere near the settlement that I received. I recommend Cathy and her brother highly.

Bike Injury
Figuratively speaking I think it's safe to say Daniel saved my life. In multiple instances he was not only willing but happy to go above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of legally and represented fairly. He's a humorous, easy going guy and in that way he made complicated litigation extremely simple. Secondly, his deliberate straight forward approach helped us secure a victory and because of that I can't recommend this law firm enough.

Smart, persistent, kind, professional, effective.
I got hit by a car that was turning right from the left lane, while riding my bicycle, in Brooklyn. Would've been dead or paralyzed if it wasn't for my helmet. I wasn't planning on suing for damages, but then my pain persisted and I had to get surgery on my wrist a year later. I was able to settle out of court for a large sum of money, with pretty minimal effort on my part, thanks to the expertise and full support of Mr. Flanzig and his team. Highly recommend!

Helped me get money after a lady ‘doored’ me, breaking my shoulder. Didn’t take long, 6months maybe. They’re very nice people, actually seemed like they cared, which was nice.

Great attorney for cyclists
Flanzig & Flanzig are extremely competent, conscientious, & concerned professionals. It was encouraging to have an attorney such as Daniel, who is so well versed in the situations that road cyclists encounter. Actually, I had two cycling accidents in a three month span and Daniel was extremely skilled in the nuances that settlement of these cases required.

Bicycle Accident Legal Assistance
After I was involved in a car accident while riding my bike in Brooklyn, Daniel Flanzig and his incredibly talented team guided me through the legal hurdles needed to aid in my personal recovery, and eventual financial settlement through a roommate's insurance company. They were so efficient, responsive, and helpful throughout the entire process, from the day of the accident, to an eventual settlement, I could not have been blessed with a harder-working, and friendly team. Can't recommend highly enough!

Difficult case settled
I thought I would receive nothing in compensation for my injuries but Mr. Flanzig proved otherwise. While riding my bike a car suddenly took a turn in front of me. In order to avoid hitting the front of the car and then going up and over the windshield I desperately jammed on the brakes. The front wheel locked up and I flipped over, landing with full force on my elbow. Fortunately, the car stopped just short of impact. My elbow had eight fractures, and I had other, lesser, injuries. I had to have emergency surgery to install a plate and pins. Three days in the hospital. Mr. Flanzing advised that this case would would be difficult because the driver hadn't actually hit me but was confident the suit would be successful. He gave advice on the No Fault claim process. He ushered me through the deposition. Later, he filed for a summary judgement, which was unsuccessful. We then went to mediation and the lawsuit was settled. I feel the settlement amount was perfectly aligned with the extent of the injuries and my permanent pain and mobility limitations. This whole process took only a year and a half. Mr. Flanzig and his staff were always available and responded to all my queries quite quickly. He always gave me updates on the progress and how the system works.
