“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!”

“We without reservation recommend our attorney Kenneth Knabe to all, and especially to anyone involved in a bicycling case. I was seriously injured in a vehicle-bicycle crash involving many riders, some of whom were killed. The fact that Ken was a bicyclist himself, and his knowledge and experience with bicycling accident cases and law made me much more confident and assured while we navigated the complexities of the cases. Ken made the best of preparation, actually riding the route the cyclists took. He helped to clarify all that happened in the civil litigation, communicated as much as we needed, and helped prepare us thoroughly for the deposition. All in all, you could see the caring he exhibited, being a fellow cyclist. We are very grateful, and highly recommend Ken Knabe.”

“A car hit me while I was commuting to work on my bike in Cleveland Heights. The at-fault driver’s insurance company offered to settle right away. Before meeting with the insurance company, I called Bike Cleveland who recommended that I talk to Kenneth Knabe, Greater Cleveland’s Bicycle Accident Attorney. I called Kenneth. His advice was to cancel the meeting because it was much too early to assess the real extent of my injuries. I cancelled the meeting and hired Ken.

Turns out Ken was completely right – I had a far more serious injury than what I originally had realized. Mr. Knabe ended up settling my case for around 30 times more than what the insurance company was offering me (and what I would have accepted if not for Mr. Knabe’s advice).

If you are injured in a bike accident, do not try to handle it yourself. Go to a pro who knows bike and injury law. I highly recommend Attorney Kenneth Knabe for anyone injured in a bike accident!”

“I was in a bicycle accident caused by a driver who had no insurance. At the recommendation of several cyclists, I hired a fellow cyclist and bicycle accident Attorney Kenneth Knabe as my lawyer. He made some great recommendations. Through his help, I was able to maximize a settlement from my own uninsured motorist coverage. I would highly recommend him to any cyclist in a bike accident.”

“I am a local physician and I was in a bike accident. I hired highly recommended fellow cyclist and bike attorney Kenneth Knabe of the Knabe Law Firm on Madison Avenue. Ken was on top of things from the beginning until the very successful ending. He went above and beyond with great recommendations that helped favorably resolve my case. He even went out in the evening and took photographs that demonstrated there was more than adequate lighting for the at fault driver to see me. He prepared an excellent settlement letter to the insurance company with reports and exhibits in which he detailed and described my damage claims. I highly recommend Ken for his knowledge and expertise in bicycle accidents.”

“I found bicycle attorney Knabe on the internet. I met him at his Lakewood office. Lawyers from a big firm had rejected my case. Mr. Knabe took my case, took photos of the scene and was able to research and establish liability for blocking a bike lane downtown, suddenly opening a door and causing my accident. He knew the law and he actually made them pay with a settlement that was extremely satisfactory. I would highly recommend him for any cyclist who had the misfortune of being hit or injured by a careless driver. You are not a number at his firm. He is hands on and takes it personal when you are hit.”
