Personal Injury and Wrongful Death

Fatal MN Bicycle Accident

$2,469,339 Bicycle Accident Verdict >>>

Bicycle Accident“I bike to work every day,” stated attorney Fred Pritzker of Pritzker Olsen, a Minnesota law firm that represents victims of bicycle accidents and their families. “I am personally aware of the dangers on the road, and that drivers just don’t look for bicyclists.”

One of the major contributing factors in fatal bicycle-motorist crashes is failure to see bicyclists due to inattentive driving.

Pritzker Olsen urges all motorists to watch for bicyclists, especially children.  We stand with Transportation Commissioner Tom Sorel, who stated, “We want motorists to recognize bicyclists as people, not obstructions.”
