Phoenix Bicycle Accidents Lawyer
Experienced Bike Injury Trial Attorney in Arizona
Injuries sustained in a bicycle accident are often life-altering - whether you were injured yourself or you have lost a loved one. It is important and extremely helpful to have a lawyer whom you trust and who understands what you are going through.
I am attorney Stephen I. Leshner. I used to be an avid cyclist and tri-athlete, having completed the 112-mile Tour of Tucson. I also luckily escaped injury when I was struck by a car while riding - my riding partner did not. I know personally how little protection a bicycle provides.

Injuries Sustained in Bicycle Accidents
The injuries resulting from a bicycle accident are almost always severe. Victims of bicycle-car crashes have no protection and absorb the full impact of the crash. At my law firm Stephen I. Leshner PC, I have represented clients with catastrophic injuries sustained in a bicycle accident, such as:
In a recently litigated case, a victim of a bicycle accident suffered a severe traumatic brain injury, which caused damage to his frontal and temporal lobe and for which he had to endure a lobectomy. I was able to secure a successful settlement on his behalf: $3.5 million plus an additional confidential settlement.
The most important consideration for your well-being other than your physical recovery is obtaining enough damages to fully compensate you for the costs of your medical treatment and pain and suffering.
Experienced Attorney and Cyclist to Prepare Your Case
Cycling can be a dangerous activity. But that does not mean that negligent or reckless motorists should not be held responsible for their role in a bicycle accident. For example, recently I recovered a substantial settlement for a cyclist riding on a sidewalk, going the "wrong" direction (against traffic), who was hit by a car pulling out of a driveway, and am currently handling cases for cyclists who were seriously injured while cycling.
In my over 30 years of experience, I have recovered millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements for clients injured in bicycle accidents. I will investigate the accident and examine the evidence to build a strong case. When necessary, I will work with reconstruction specialists and experts to determine the role that motorist negligence, equipment failure, or roadway design and maintenance may have had in your bicycle accident.
I will use this information to negotiate with the insurance company for a fair settlement. If they are not willing to provide enough to cover the full extent of your damages, I will take them to trial in order to recover the compensation you need and deserve.
If you have been seriously injured or a loved one has been killed in a bicycle accident, you can rely on my experience, reputation and skill in our efforts to recover the maximum amount of damages.
