“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 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.”

“A car hit me while I was riding my bicycle in Shaker Heights, Ohio. Friends recommended Attorney Ken Knabe, who I hired. The driver denied responsibility, and his insurance company offered nothing initially. Mr. Knabe prepared legal action on my behalf, which included his hiring an accident reconstruction expert who prepared a scale diagram of the scene. This refuted the driver’s version of the crash and supported mine. I attended the driver’s deposition, and Mr. Knabe’s well prepared and thoughtful questions elicited answers that clearly supported my version of the crash. The at-fault driver’s insurance company settled at a mediation meeting with their offer going from zero to multiple six figures! The crash was a difficult experience for me, and Ken’s compassion, dedication, and expertise resulted in the best possible outcome. He is an avid cyclist himself who cares about and knows how to protect cyclists by properly and thoroughly handling a bike injury claim. I very highly recommend him to any cyclist involved in a serious crash caused by an unsafe driver.”

“While cycling home from work in June 2018, I was hit by an SUV and suffered serious injuries. It was a hit and skip, with an uninsured driver. I found Ken through Bike Cleveland. Ken took charge of the legal and insurance claims and demystified the jargon for me so that I could focus on my physical recovery. He was responsive, courteous, professional, and he really knows the rights of cyclists. He made my case a priority and had me feeling like I was his only client. I was very satisfied with the claim and have completely recovered from my injuries. I’m happy to say that I’m back in the saddle. Thanks Ken.”
