Why Hire A Bike Accident Attorney?
Accidents and injuries can turn your life upside down. Worries about medical bills, your damaged bike, and your recovery can quickly become overwhelming.  Added to those worries is the stress of dealing with the insurance companies and their demands for a quick settlement.

The goal of the insurance companies is NOT to help you.  They have attorneys and adjusters whose goal is to pay you as little as they can. You need a bicycle accident attorney on your side who is knowledgable of the laws relating to cyclists and who is willing to fight for your rights. 

After an accident, your only focus should be on recovering from your injuries and resuming your life.  As your attorney, it is my job to reduce the stress and hassle of dealing with the financial aspect of your bicycle accident. I will take care of the paperwork, phone calls, and questions relating to your claims.  I will also work with the insurance companies, doctors, and experts to help you obtain a fair settlement.  

Why Hire A Cyclist As Your Attorney?
As an avid cyclist, I have seen first hand the dangers caused by careless drivers. I have also seen how motorists and authorities try to blame cyclists for accidents even when the motorist was clearly at fault. 

I know the expenses involved in cycling and I understand the that athletes require more than the "basics" of medical care to get back to competitive condition.  I will fight to get you fairly compenstated for the damages to your gear and for the rehabilitation you need to resume your active lifestyle.
