Daniel Flanzig

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 ski...lled in the nuances that settlement of these cases required.

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, res...ponsive, 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!

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 fro...nt 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.

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.
