“I was struck by an underinsured motorist in Cleveland in summer 2024. While I was being treated in the hospital for my injuries my wife was panic stricken as she had no idea where to turn. Cleveland police were not helpful and didn’t arrive on the scene until well after everyone had left, they seemingly had very little interest in holding the motorist accountable. Ken Knabe’s name came up as being an experienced bike attorney. Most of us avid cyclists in the area have heard his name before, but only now do I fully understand the reasons behind his legendary status in the bike community. Ken jumped in right away as soon as my wife called while I was still in the hospital and not able to address anything on my own. Once I had surgery and was released from the hospital, insurance companies did not want to pay. Ken was able to step in and get them to pay, got my medical bills covered, property damage (bike and equipment) replaced, and a little extra on top. I highly recommend Knabe law firm if you’re victimized in an accident and left with a bike related injury. Additionally , make sure you have uninsured motorist coverage on your insurance policy!”

“After a bike accident, I was at a loss for who to trust. I searched for a bicycle attorney and Knabe Law Firm came up. I asked around and everyone agreed that Ken and Knabe Law Firm was the best choice. Ken and his team made everything so easy, and they let me focus on my injuries while they took care of everything else.”

“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 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. ”

“I was riding my bike and was hit by a car. My bike club, Cleveland Touring Club, recommended bike attorney Ken Knabe. Ken came to the hospital and followed up with me with home visits until he was able to successfully resolve my matter for policy limits. He visited with me often at my residence. He followed up and had professional photographs taken of my injuries. He was thorough, extremely competent and was able to secure a great resolution for me. I highly recommend him.”

“After I was involved in a bicycle/vehicle accident, I was referred to Ken Knabe by a friend. This case involved both property and bodily damage. Ken handled my accident and the settlement with tact and prowess. Not only is he well-versed with cases involving bicycle riders, he was willing to patiently explain the details of the case as it progressed. Ken kept me up to date on all pertinent details of the case and was always available to talk if I had any questions. I felt comfortable with Ken’s representation knowing that I would get a just result from the settlement. Ken made sure the full value of my bike and riding gear were reimbursed. Ken doggedly pursued all insurance companies involved for the best deal for me. During this entire period, I always felt that Ken was working fully in my best interest and would not stop until he felt I received full reparations. Towards the end of the settlement when I was tired and just wanted the case to be done, Ken kicked it into overdrive. He scheduled appointments with professionals that convincingly proved my case and ended the settlement in quick order. Ken Knabe is a genuine person, a strong, fierce lawyer, and an avid enthusiast in the biking community. I would not hesitate to recommend him in a similar case. UPDATE: I recently received a letter from my insurance company regarding a subrogation lien. Ken offered to take care of this matter for me. He accomplished this matter in a timely fashion while reducing the amount I owed. I am very thankful for his competent handling of this case.”

He then successfully resolved my personal injury claim and achieved a better than expected settlement. Ken cares about cyclists and knows how to help them when they are injured by careless drivers. I highly recommend him for anyone in a bicycle crash.”
