“I was seriously injured while on my bike by an inattentive driver. I called the Knabe Law Firm due to the work Ken does with local advocacy groups and his involvement in the cycling community. Ken and his staff worked diligently on my case. They handled everything with a difficult insurance company and hospital system. I would highly recommend their services.”

“Knabe Law Firm helped us when my husband was hit riding his bike by a hit and run motorist. I didn’t even think my auto insurance would cover him (as a non-driver) but thanks to Ken we were able to receive a settlement! The law firm is also a major supporter of Bike Cleveland, working to prevent crashes like these in the future. Thank you!”

“I highly recommend Ken. I was a victim of a hit and run on my bicycle and was referred to Ken by my neighbors. He called me back right away and set up an in person meeting. He explained everything to me very clearly and I felt comfortable with him handling my case. He made sure I saw the correct doctors and guided me through everything. He kept me informed during the long process and worked to get me a good settlement. If you are involved in a bicycle accident, I can’t recommend Ken highly enough.”

“After being the victim of a serious bicycle accident which left me injured, I was unsure how to proceed. Fortunately, I found Ken’s law firm after a quick online search. I called and asked for a free consultation. I was so impressed that Ken was able to come to my house that same day. He immediately earned my trust and confidence. He took the hassle and stress out of the process by providing clear guidance and taking care of all of the paperwork and negotiating related to my accident. He was always readily available by phone or email during the multi-month process. In the end, I received a settlement that exceeded my expectations. I can’t recommend him enough!”
