Bike Law is not a law firm, but a network of independent bicycle accident attorneys and law firms who share a common approach to the law and to helping cyclists. We also have a non-profit advocacy effort, the Bike Law Foundation.
Our methods and processes have been honed over the last fifteen years: we have handled every type of bicycle crash, and have learned (and will continue to learn) how to do it better. Lawyers in the Bike Law Network share insight and experience to serve cyclists. Our Network is growing, and as it does, each of us learns more.
As cyclists, we take a different approach because we understand how important cycling is, and how devastating it can be to be hit by a motor vehicle while riding a bike, and suffer serious injuries. We also know what it is like to lose the ability or desire to ride. Our goal is to be social as well as legal advocates. We strive to help clients get back up and riding as soon as possible.
Once we get a case, we work with the police to get the facts right and to determine whether a motorist was at fault. We will guide you through medical treatment and medical bills, negotiate with insurance companies, and, when necessary, file suit and go to trial.
We also provide pro bono legal advice to cycling clubs and teams - about insurance, organizational structure, advocacy efforts, bicycle safety and more. We regularly speak at bike club meetings and are happy to come to yours.
Lawyers in the Bike Law network of bicycling attorneys are advocates for all cyclists. That means commuters, racers, beginners, and advanced riders. If you ride a bicycle for any reason, whether it be for pleasure, for transportation or for sport, we advocate for your bicycling rights and safety.
Bicycling lawyers are here to protect you on the road. By going after texting teenagers, speeding sports car drivers, drunk drivers, motorists who blow through stop signs or fail to yield right of way, or careless drivers who open their car door into a bike lane, you are sending a message to other drivers and also insurance companies. You are saying we aren't going to take it anymore!
Drivers and bike riders need to be mindful, drive carefully, follow traffic laws, and share the road. We both pay for it with our tax dollars, and we both need to obey the established rules
Contact Peter to see if the bike lawyers at Bike Law can help. We have associated local counsel in other states and have been admitted in other courts on a case by case basis.
Lawyers in the Bike Law Network represent bicyclists injured in traffic crashes, at the police station, against insurance companies, and in the courts.
We advocate the rights of all cyclists, not just our clients. We report, comment, and campaign on bicycling safety.
What to do if you are in a bike crash, why we don't say bicycle accident or bike accident, how to ride safely, and more.
We believe in the cycling movement and where it is going. We want cycling culture to evolve elegantly.
In addition to representing injured cyclists, our 501(c)(3) Foundation advocates for better biking everywhere!

Read MoreMany of our cycling clients find themselves having to interact with the criminal justice system. Typically, it’s because the driver who hits them (or their family member) is charged with a crime or traffic offense. Occasionally bicyclists themselves are charged with traffic offenses! Every state’s criminal laws are different, but there is a lot of […]
