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.

Great firm!

I had the bad luck to get “doored” while on my bicycle, but the day after the accident, I had the good fortune to have Flanzig and Flanzig as my attorneys. Cathy Flanzig took the lead in my case and was, first of all, compassionate and understanding of the distress I and my family were in, and of th...e apprehensions we had relating to medical care, expenses and a possible settlement. Cathy reassured me of all my concerns and answered all of my immediate questions. While I went to surgery and focused on recuperating, her firm was working with the defendant’s insurance company to take care of my medical bills. Over the next year, she was responsive to any of my queries and kept me updated as to the progress of my case. I eventually reach a settlement that I was very satisfied with. Cathy is an expert at bicycle law, a super negotiator and someone who really cares about her clients and works in their best interests. You would be lucky as well, to have this firm on your side, should you have the misfortune to suffer a personal injury.

Worked tirelessly on my behalf

Two years ago I was seriously injured by a car while riding my bike. Dan Flanzig took my case and over the next 18 months worked tirelessly and effectively to remedy the situation and achieve justice. It didn't happen overnight, but eventually he (and his superb staff) prevailed. I could not have se...lected a better person to represent me in this time of need.

If you have been in a bike accident, you should call Daniel Flanzig.

A couple of years ago, I was involved in an accident while biking to work. The driver of a vehicle parked on the side of the road didn't check his mirrors before opening his door, and so when he swung the door open, it struck me and knocked me into another vehicle on the road. I fractured my hand and... eventually needed to have surgery. At the time of the accident, I did what anyone in that situation should do: I gathered information, found witnesses, snapped some photos of the scene of the accident, got a police report, and made sure to go to the hospital in an ambulance just in case I had unknowingly injured my neck, head, or back. However, I still needed to find a good lawyer to make sure that my (extensive) bills and other costs would be covered, because I have never battled an insurance company before and worried that they would try to avoid fault. I researched and spoke with multiple lawyers and decided to go with Daniel Flanzig. He understands the law inside and out and is a cyclist himself. After speaking with him, I felt like I could rest my fears about the situation and trust him to navigate me through the legal labyrinth of my case. The driver's car insurance, unsurprisingly, put up a fight and we went through a lot of BS for the next two years. Daniel and his team were always on top of everything - from my bills, court dates, prepping me for depositions, regularly updating me about what was happening, and more. The experience was nerve-wracking, but Daniel and his team instilled a sense of confidence and security in me that all was being taken care of. I'm happy to report that the case settled in my favor. If you are reading this, you have probably been in an accident or know someone who has, and you are probably trying to decide who to choose among the hundreds of lawyers out there. Do your research, but rest assured that you cannot go wrong with Daniel Flanzig and his team. They will work hard for you and take care of your situation just like they did for me. While I hope that I will not experience another accident, I know that if I do, I'll go back to Daniel without hesitation.
