Mr. Ranzenhofer and his attorneys were great! My case was handled quickly and I got a great result – $300,000. I fell at my doctor’s office, so I knew it was a hard case. Mr. Ranzenhofer developed a strategy that got me a great result. I highly recommend Mr. Ranzenhofer and his team of attorneys.

Steps to take after an injury
First, it’s very important to make sure you’ve documented exactly what happened with your accident or injury. The date, the time, the names and addresses of those involved, as well as details of what happened are critical components that you’ll need as you try to work through the problems you’re having. If you’ve been in a car accident, we already have a checklist you can use. You can see the checklist at our Car Accident Checklist page.
Secondly, you really should contact an Injury Attorney in Buffalo as soon as possible….because the other party’s Insurance Company is probably already working behind the scenes…and preparing to defend its client.
Contacting an accident attorney is really very simple – and for your case, it’s a Free Consultation. I’ll provide the accident and injury help you need by spending time reviewing the facts with you to be able to tell you what possible remedies you have and make suggestions on how to proceed.
When a car strikes a bicycle, serious personal injury to the bicyclist or even death is not an uncommon result.
At the law firm of Friedman & Ranzenhofer, our Buffalo bicycle accident lawyers are dedicated to helping bike riders who have suffered personal injury due to the irresponsible actions of a motor vehicle driver.
Responsible bicyclists should be able to make lawful use of the streets and roads in the Buffalo area without the threat of being injured by negligent drivers.

Unfortunately, there are drivers who feel that they do not have a duty to look out for bike riders or provide bicyclists with the same courtesy they would give to someone driving a car when using the road.
Injuries suffered by bicyclists in car-bike collisions are usually more severe than those seen in accidents involving two motor vehicles.
Fractures, brain injury, severe scarring and damage to internal organs are much more common in automobile-bike collisions. This is why it is our policy to act as quickly as possible in all bike injury cases and diligently pursue compensation for our clients.
