Was rear-ended on Pine St

TL;DR: Bike lane was blocked, moved into car lane, driver didn't want to slow down, driver rear ends me, insurance says I owe the driver 3K, Joe fought for me, call Joe. There's nothing I can write to make you all understand the position I found myself in and the help I found at Piscitello Law, bu...t I'll try. I was rear ended by a driver who felt too inconvenienced to slow down. The insurance company came back with a claim, in the multiple thousands, against me for the damages to the drivers car. Joe took on my case because he believes in cyclists rights, not because I was going to get a big insurance payout. He was there to fight for me and my rights to cycle on Philadelphia streets when I was dealing with an insurance company who asked me "why didn't you just ride your bike onto the sidewalk instead of the car traffic lane". Joe, Marissa, and Andrea were so understanding, confident, and professional through what became almost a year process. I can not thank them enough.

Bicycle accident, successful conclusion

I was hit by a car while riding my bicycle home in June 2017 by an under-insured driver. Joe, Andrea, and staff were great! I’m not one to jump for a lawyer, but considering the trauma I had experienced and the issues that I had to navigate while spending months recuperating, having them in my corne...r made all the difference. Very personalized attention and successful closure. Contacts with insurance companies and others involved in the process were handled while I was on the mend. Joe came by to meet me at home to view the accident site, explained what would happen, and made me feel positive about the process. I would have been lost and likely spending my own money we’re it not for Joe and his staff.
