Highly Knowledgeable About Cycling Accidents


Our own injury attorney, Barry M. Cymerman, has been practicing law for over 25 years and has been an active cyclist for at least as long.

Barry says, "I ride on the local roads, and I know firsthand the dangers that cyclists face. I am aware of the vulnerability of a bicyclist as compared to a motorist, and I certainly realize that the motorist is the one with the deadly weapon."

"If you or a family member has been injured in a bicycle accident or if you have lost a loved one as a result of being hit by a car, please contact me. With your permission, we will handle everything about your claim. We will work hard for you, from the initial investigation and fact-gathering to preparing your case for serious settlement negotiations or trials. Whatever it takes."

"Milwaukee is a community of people who enjoy the outdoors and active lifestyles such as bicycle riding. Relatively speaking, Wisconsin offers excellent bike-riding opportunities compared to many other parts of the country."

"Unfortunately, many car and truck drivers do not respect the rights of bicyclists. As a result, many cyclists are injured because of the negligence of these motorists. Even though bicyclists have the same rights as motorists, it is my experience that the typical motorist feels that their rights to the road are superior to that of the bicyclist. This is not true."

"In closing, I would like you to know that I very much enjoy the work I do. But at the same time, I am nothing without you. I take my responsibility very seriously. I tell the truth, and I keep my word. My clients call me Barry."
