Ben Dodge in Nice, France
In the wake of a bicycle accident, navigating the legal landscape can be daunting. Cyclists often face unique challenges when dealing with insurance companies and legal systems that may not fully understand bicycle-specific incidents. This is where the Bike Accident Attorneys Network, LLC steps in, a nationwide alliance of premier independent attorneys passionately dedicated to representing cyclists. Founded in January 2019 by Ben Dodge, an Arizona-based bicycle accident lawyer, and co-founded by Daniel Flanzig, a New York bicycle accident attorney, this network addresses the critical need for specialized legal advocacy for cyclists across the United States. Recognizing that bicycle accident cases diverge significantly from typical personal injury claims, Bike Accident Attorneys Network unites legal professionals who are not only exceptional lawyers but also avid cyclists themselves. This intrinsic understanding of cycling culture and the inherent biases within the legal and insurance industries makes them the optimal choice for cyclists seeking justice and fair representation.
