“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 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.”

“I was hit by a car while riding my bicycle in Cleveland Heights. Bike Cleveland recommended Attorney Ken Knabe, who I hired. Ken helped get my bike damages covered and charged no fee. 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.”

“I was riding my bicycle in Strongsville, Ohio when I turned left, a car went to pass me and hit me. A witness at the scene recommended Greater Cleveland’s bike Attorney Kenneth Knabe. I hired Ken. He immediately made a claim against the driver’s liability insurance company and helped me recover for my bike and accessory damage. He knew all the applicable bike and traffic laws. When the insurance company failed to pay a fair settlement for my injuries, he filed a lawsuit on my behalf. He sorted out my car and health insurance, and I was able to receive a fair and equitable settlement for my injuries from the at-fault party’s insurance carrier. Mr. Knabe really knows his bike law and was in my corner from day one! I highly recommended him.”

“I have been working with Ken Knabe for the last year and a half as I pursued a settlement with an insurance company after my bicycle accident. I was hit by a car while riding my bike and thankfully my helmet saved my life. In trying to negotiate a quick settlement with the insurance company, they offered $500 compensation for my custom LeSartre road bike, laughable. When I asked Bike Cleveland representatives who they recommended, Ken was the first name out of their mouth.
From my first interaction with him, I knew he understood my pain and fear associated with my accident. As a fellow cyclist, he empathized with the loss of a great bike and all related trauma in returning to the road. He worked diligently to get the offender’s insurance company to pay what was due and helped to get a great resolution to my claim. Thanks to him I have a new bike and have been fully compensated for the ordeal.
Now, when anyone asks for a Lawyer, his name will be first out of my mouth too.”
