“In July 2023 while cycling on a road I was hit by car a driven by an older gentleman. Fortunately he stopped as well as other drivers to provide assistance. I was transported by ambulance with life threatening injuries. I was hospitalized for a week before being released home.

After numerous unsuccessful attempts to contact the driver’s car insurance, and having talked with our insurance, my husband and I decided we did not have the knowledge or patience to navigate the quagmire of legal and insurance. Hence, I contacted various serious bicycle friends and shops and one name was continuously mentioned: Ken Knabe.

Ken Knabe is a known local bicycle accident lawyer as well as a bicycle advocate and twice published author on bicycle safety and rights.

We called Ken and he came to our home in Sagamore Hills from his office in Lakewood. Something he would do numerous times. Each step of the process-and it was a process-was explained in terms that I could understand the Why, When and How.

Ken helped my husband and me thoroughly document my injuries and resulting limitations and/or changes in my body. Things I never would have thought of. I’m grateful for his expertise and direction.

Never having had a lawyer before for any reason, hiring one was scary (almost everyone has a terrible lawyer story). That was not our case. Ken was personable from the get go with a genuine concern of my physical, mental and financial well being. He was kind and patient and always returned our phones calls immediately during the entire year long process. His calm demeanor coupled with his knowledge gave us confidence. The staff at his Knabe Law Firm was always polite, professional and prompt.

The year long process resulted in having all my medical bills paid and receiving full insurance policy limits from both the driver’s insurance and our insurance. We are very very satisfied. I have returned to cycling on the road and hopefully, we will never need Ken’s services again. I highly recommend Ken!

“I hired Ken Knabe as my attorney after my bike accident in Pepper Pike. Ken helped me resolve my bike damage after meeting me at the bike shop. He then stayed on top of my medical and billing issues, and resolved my personal injury claim with a settlement that far exceeded my expectations.

I highly recommend Ken if you are in a bike crash.”

“Happily cycling for over 30 years, I never thought I would get hit by a car, but it happened. After the hospital stay and recovering slowly at home, I just didn’t want to deal with starting any legal aspect of the situation. However, the Knabe Law Firm was highly recommended by a trusted fellow cyclist, so I called Ken – I’m so glad I did.

Ken Knabe is very smart, thorough, and tenacious in pursuing a fair and just result. His extensive experience and knowledge of the law – particularly in regards to cyclists’ rights and driving laws, means that he knows exactly what to investigate and what information to gather. His case document preparation is exceptional. My case was hard, but in all of our conversations and meetings, I always left feeling that he was on top of everything, and this was always validated. The Knabe Law Firm is second to none in representing cyclists in bike/car accidents. I give Ken Knabe and his team the highest recommendation. If you’re a cyclist involved in a bike/car accident, don’t wait – call Ken Knabe.”

“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 was riding my bike when a car turned left and hit me. I hired Greater Cleveland bike attorney, Ken Knabe. He established fault on the driver after sending an investigator to get a statement from the eyewitness. He took photos of my initial injuries and brace, monitored my injuries and then had professional photos taken of my scarring. He shot down every defense the insurance company used to try to minimize my claim. He came to my home on several occasions when I was unable to get to his office. He advised me along the way and kept me in communication until this matter was successfully resolved. Ken obviously is a rider himself, and he really knew the ins and outs of cycling, the law and how best to help me. I highly recommend him for anyone hurt in a bike crash. ”

“I was riding my bike and was hit by a car. I hired bike attorney Kenneth Knabe to represent me. He immediately came out to my house since I was unable to even walk after the crash. He made a claim under my own insurance policy since the other party did not have any insurance. He was able to obtain a policy limits recovery, and he negotiated my health care lien and even reduced his fee so I could obtain extra compensation under the circumstances. He was very fair, very competent and very communicative. I highly recommend him and his team. ”

“I was riding in an organized ride on a Sunday in June 2019. As I was riding down a bike path, a dog leapt onto me, bit me and dragged me off my bike. I had bite wounds, cuts, and scrapes, with some scarring. I hired bike attorney Ken Knabe at the recommendation of one of the club organizers. He had my wounds and scarring photographed professionally and vigorously presented liability and my damages. I was happy with the settlement and highly recommended Ken who obviously knows what he is doing. ”

“I was riding my bike and was hit from behind by a driver who was texting! I hired bike attorney, Ken Knabe, who came highly recommended. He came to my house and photographed and videoed my bicycle damage and injuries which proved very valuable when it came time to settle. He sent me to a professional photographer to clearly identify my wounds and the resultant scarring. He kept in contact with me; and he and his team put together a great settlement package which helped resolve my claims without a lawsuit. I was very happy with the settlement and his aggressive approach to unsafe drivers who are texting and injuring us cyclists. I highly recommend him. ”

“I was hit by a drunk driver while riding my bike. I was injured and was telling my story to an attorney who was also a cyclist. He readily recommended bike attorney Ken Knabe to handle my bike injury claim since Ken specializes in helping cyclists in bike crashes. Ken guided me through the maze of medical bills, health insurance, medical payments coverage, insurance issues and documenting my injuries. I received a policy limits offer from the driver’s insurance and an additional portion of my own underinsured motorist coverage. I was very happy with his expertise and advice. I highly recommend him. ”
