Flanzig & Flanzig

My wife was a pedestrian walking in Manhattan when she was struck by a New York City department vehicle as she was crossing the street. Critically injured, my attention was fully on her medical needs for months. It was however immediately obvious we needed an experienced attorney to walk with us through this tragedy. After much research it was clear the experience of Flanzig and Flanzig with NYC law and their dealings with NYC agency’s made them an obvious choice. From my initial conversation with Daniel till now, he and his team have been by our side. Daniel is a family man, a true professional, knowledgeable, supportive, and has helped us navigate the complicated waters associated with our ongoing case. My wife’s recovery continues out of state and it has been a real blessing to know that our case continues in his teams competent hands. My experience with Daniel Flanzig has been exceptional and he has made our journey less stressful. I highly recommend the Flanzig and Flanzig team. Thank you Daniel for all your hard work on our behalf.

If you’ve been involved in a bicycle accident… you should contact this firm.
Last November, a car went through a red light and hit me, knocking me across the street in an intersection. I was so disoriented at the time and had no idea what to do. Thankfully, the police were already on the scene so they prepared a police report. I went to the hospital and found out that I had fractured my shoulderblade but was otherwise ok.
The next day, I had to figure out what I needed to do. Do I need to file a no fault claim? Do I need a lawyer? Do I need to do anything else? I was definitely nervous. I did some quick internet research and found Flanzig & Flanzig, noting that they handled bicycle accidents. After a fairly short conversation with Cathy Flanzig, I retained this firm to handle my case. As a side note, they handled all the no-​fault filings for me as well.
My experience with this firm was terrific. I dealt with Cathy Flanzig and the firm’s office staff. Cathy Flanzig is very knowledgeable and accessible and she responded to my requests for information promptly. Honestly, the turn-​around time was really amazing. Finally, I’m very happy with how my case turned out. I can’t recommend this firm enough.

As someone who bikes daily to, from and for work, my biggest fear is getting smashed by a car or doored due to careless driving.
A car T-​boned me in an intersection when I had the right of way. It wasn’t a critical injury, but it was enough that it made work very difficult/​painful, sometimes impossible, for the next year. Days after the wreck, I was finding new and worse pains. I didn’t know what to do or who to call. The doctor I saw at the ER was no help. The people at the hospital didn’t know how to help me either. So I googled «bike lawyer nyc». Flanzig & Flanzig came up first. Frazzled and scared, I emailed them after briefly checking out the website. Daniel broke it all down to me, explained the next step and how to get me into physical therapy. One thing I really appreciated about him was that he always responded promptly to emails and phone calls and didn’t seemed too annoyed with my millions of questions because this was my first time being involved with a lawsuit. I felt assured that someone really had my back, that I had someone advocating for me.
Here’s to hoping I never have to call him again! But on the unlucky side of it, I will not hesitate to contact him if I’m hurt on my bike in the future.

About a year and a half ago I was involved in a «dooring» in New York City while riding my bicycle to work. The person opened their drivers side door as I was approaching the vehicle and I was thrown from my bicycle. I suffered many cuts, scrapes, bruises but most of all I suffered a severe 4-​inch laceration to my right bicep; cutting all the way to my bicep muscle. I was hospitalized for 2 days and it severely affected my career as a bartender and as a model.
I contacted Daniel after reading his reviews online and realizing his specialty in bicycle incidents. From the moment I stepped into his office, Daniel was not only professional, but a down to earth human being and made me feel at ease instantly. Throughout the entire process, Daniel and his team (including his lovely wife) were in contact with me and gave me updates on my case the minute they had any. I was very impressed with how kind and respectful he and his team were and how dedicated they were to my case. In the end, Daniel helped settle my case far beyond my expectations and I am forever grateful to him.
Daniel is the best lawyer I have ever worked with (and I have been in a few injury lawsuits unfortunately LOL) and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for honest, dedicated and effective representation.

Daniel and Cathy Flanzig, of Flanzig & Flanzig, provided me with professional, prompt, and maximum legal representation in a personal injury case. I was a bicyclist doored by a passenger exiting a NYC yellow cab in June 2012, the case was settled by October 2013. As a bicyclist I followed every rule of the road; riding in bike, wore a helmet, gave a consciously wide berth to parked cars I was passing while in the bicycle lane, was not using a cell phone, had a relatively new bike which was in perfect working order.
Nonetheless I was doored by a passenger exiting a parked taxi, my collar bone, «Clavicle», was fractured and displaced; I had a surgical procedure to repair the displaced fracture, the procedure consisted of installing a plate and screws on top of the Clavicle.
Here is what stood out for me in having Daniel & Cathy Flanzig represent my legal interests in this case.
1. Prior to retaining the Flanzigs, Daniel provided me with prompt and accurate assessment of the possible routes, time frames, possible recoverables; this case could provide.
2. Once retained the Flanzig firm took over every aspect of the case; from the no fault insurance claim filings, to reimbursement for out of pocket medical expenses, prompt filings of complaints and claims.
3. I was always made aware of what I needed to know to be assured the case was in fact preceding. I wasn’t burdened with any aspect of the case.
4. As the case neared settlement, a good outcome for all, Daniel kept me closely in the loop to make sure I was in agreement, and aware of what was being discussed. Never caused me stress or worry.
5. Once we arrived at what was thought to be a final settled amount, Cathy Flanzig went back to the insurance company and found another $ 10K. This was a pleasant surprise to me, and demonstrated the Flanzig’s never stop fighting and work for the maximum outcome from a case.
6. Daniel & Cathy Flanzig have earned my trust and confidence as people, and in this matter their competence in personal injury law; particularly in the area of motor vehicle and bicycle accidents in New York State. Nothing in life is more important to me than trust, confidence, and competence!
Do your homework, checkout several attorneys as I did. Feel comfortable with the attorney as a person, make sure they have experience in the area you are seeking representation; then go with what your heart tells you to do.

Simply the best lawyer I ever worked with, Dan Flanzig is a true professional and all round nice guy.
I was also «doored» as I was riding my bike when a driver of a van opened his door while I was passing. I had no time to react and I crashed into the door. This resulted in a broken collar bone (clavicle). I was knocked out for about 5 minutes. When I came too, there was a crowd gathered. Someone told me they called an ambulance which took me to the hospital. I needed surgery to repair my broken bone.
Daniel was very professional. As an avid cyclist himself, Dan was an expert with NYC cycle law and the rights of cyclists. I was lucky to find a law firm which included a special focus on New York cycle law as part of their practice. He knew the law and fought very hard for my rights. Excellent and professional service. My phone calls were always returned. The staff handled all the paperwork with the hospitals and doctors. I did not have to worry about anything. The defendants were very hard to deal with, yet Dan fought hard to get the best settlement possible. I recommend Dan and Flanzig & Flanzig.

Although the main address is Mineola, Flanzig & Flanzig also have a Manhattan office. I cannot say enough good things about how helpful Daniel and Cathy were.
At the beginning of the summer, I was knocked off my bicycle by a woman opening her car door. It was the afternoon on a Friday. I was riding down the street in broad daylight obeying all traffic rules. That’s why it’s called an accident. There is nothing you can do to prevent it, and it’s sometimes messy sorting it out.
My arm was broken, and the driver did not want to accept responsibility. The police never came. I spent the night in the hospital, and the next day, I called around to find a lawyer. Daniel answered immediately, even though it was a Saturday. He was always prompt in returning calls, even when his newborn was being delivered. He and his sister Cathy referred me to a good orthopedist. They were realistic about what to expect and how long the process would take, and they answered any questions.
Even if you haven’t been injured in a bike accident, but you ride in the city, their blog is worth checking out. Flanzig & Flanzig are very helpful and professional.

These guys are good!
I had gotten into my first bicycle accident and wasn’t sure where to turn for help and answers to my millions of questions and worries.
That same night I had the accident and came out from the hospital I sent an email thinking it was too late and that I wouldn’t be able to talk with someone. Just as I thought that, I received a call from the lawyer and was able to get some piece of mind because he was able to answer all of my questions. I forwarded all the information that I had and they took care of the rest. I highly recommend anyone who has been in an accident on their bike to give these guys a call. They know their stuff!

I have nothing but good things to say about Daniel Flanzig.
Like 5 stars just isn’t enough for this man.
Seriously.
Having a bike accident really, really shakes you. Aside from the shock, injuries, etc. it’s totally stressful and strenuous to even attempt to handle all the paperwork that comes flooding in (and the crazy language used on it). Mr. Flanzig and his office generously made the whole ordeal much easier to deal with and I am forever thankful.
