Trusted Ottawa Bicycle Accident Lawyers

Throughout Ottawa and eastern Ontario, cycling is a popular activity. More and more cities have been creating bike lanes and encouraging cycling as a green, alternative form of transportation.

However, even though efforts have been made to make our city streets and other areas friendly to cyclists, they are at a disadvantage when they encounter negligent drivers. In an accident with a car, truck or bus, a cyclist can be left with serious, life-changing injuries.

  • Cyclist hit by a car
  • Cyclist injury caused by poor road maintenance
  • Cyclist injured on a bike path
  • Cyclist struck by another cyclist
  • Cyclist struck by a truck
  • Cyclist hit by a car
  • Cyclist injury caused by poor road maintenance
  • Cyclist injured on a bike path

Helen Schutt
My personal experience in dealing with Alison at the firm was outstanding. She was always available to answer any questions or concerns I had in dealing with the insurance company. Alison was always upfront and honest with me about the results we were able to obtain. She worked hard for me and was very aggressive and no nonsense during our mediation meeting. My Ltd carrier made an strong effort to minimize the benifits I was entitled to, but Alison was having none of that. She got the results we were hoping for. I can't thank Alison enough for the help, and respect she gave me throughout the whole process.
