Daniel Flanzig, originally aiming for an FBI career, pivoted to personal injury law due to a hiring freeze in 1994. His passion for bicycling and firsthand experiences with cyclist-motorist tensions in NYC led him to specialize in bicycle accident cases.
Based in Mineola at Flanzig and Flanzig LLP, where he partners with his sister Cathy, bicycle-related cases make up 40% of their practice. They launched newyorkbikelawyer.com and developed a bike-crash app to aid cyclists in gathering accident information.
Flanzig’s unique perspective from personal cycling informs his legal strategy, resulting in substantial settlements, including cases involving a Suffolk County stop sign collision and a Manhattan "dooring" incident. Despite his busy schedule, he continues to cycle, blending his personal enjoyment with professional expertise.
