If you have been in a bike accident, don't try to navigate the labyrinthine NYS no-fault system by yourself. You need the high quality, responsive, transparent representation that Dan and Cathy Flanzig provide. In August of 2012 I was doored by a livery cab. I was severely injured, and had to be taken from the scene by an ambulance. The cab driver didn't didn't stay to talk to police. No police report was filed. After I was discharged, I had about $10,000 of medical bills, and I had to investigate this situation on my own. Since there is no official language for being doored, what I wound up interacting with is an entire bureaucracy centralized around motor vehicle to motor vehicle accidents. Every form you submit, and every person you interact with perceives your situation this way. Everything has to be altered to suit a bicycle/car accident. It was a nightmare, and without knowing my options, I tried to do it myself, and I did it wrong. I was denied no fault coverage on this basis and found myself a month into my post-accident life without medical treatment. I reached out to several other firms for help only to have them have no interest in helping me. By chance, I read an article on Gothamist about the proliferation of firms dedicated to cyclists' rights and found Flanzig and Flanzig. I wrote an angry, emotional email describing my situation at about 8pm, and before 9pm I was talking to Daniel, and about my options. It is amazing that they took me on in the first place knowing that there would be several months of paperwork involved with circumventing the mess/trap I'd walked into trying to represent myself--BEFORE any sort of settlement could be discussed in the future. That it took months to get this insurance company to even take responsibility for my medical bills is testament to their practice. In the interceding time, Daniel has counseled me every step of the way including helping me find the quality medical treatment I desperately needed, and fought for every bit of my lost wages. I know that without his and Cathy's help and the help of his team my quality of life would be a shadow of what it is today.

I consulted Daniel after I was rear ended by a cab in 2012. He was extremely helpful, professional, and patient throughout the entire process. The cab's insurance company was evasive and often late with payments and Daniel swiftly dealt with these matters. We settled the claim at a much higher amount than my original expectations. Working with Flanzig was very easy !

When I first spoke to MR. Kevin P. Sheerin, I thought it was promising. He had return my call on a Saturday I didn't think that was the norm, so I was impressed initially. We spoke on the phone and I asked a very basic question. He didn't answer it and told me to fax over my paper work. And he would get back to me on Monday. So I did, him as well. Monday came he called we spoke and he try to give me his CAR SALESMAN ACT. Then he proceeded to tell me that he still didn't have the answer to my question, And didn't know the answer. Which was and is a very basic fundamental question. At that point he was very RUDE to me and hung up the phone on me.
