Why should you contact Bruce S. Deming to assist you with your bicycle or pedestrian accident case? Here are a few good reasons from Mr. Deming's recent clients.


Bruce Deming came highly recommended to me after a car hit me when I was riding my bike. He is the epitome of what you would want in an attorney when you are dealing with long term injuries and recovery. From beginning to end, Bruce was kind and informative, and he kept me apprised of any developments in my case. The settlement process took far less time than I anticipated, and Bruce successfully negotiated for a better settlement than was initially offered. Bruce’s decades of experience ensure that you are well represented. He is a wonderful human, too.
— Quote SourceMelissa Kellstrom, Washington, DC, March 2024

I am so glad I reached out to Bruce after my bike crash. Unquestionably helpful not to have to deal with the complex legal side of things, but Bruce went above and beyond to provide physical and mental health resources and advice. He was prompt to respond to my questions and explained everything thoroughly and precisely. I had the space and time to heal with the knowledge that he was on my case!
— Stephanie Vo, Washington, DC, March 2024

As someone who bikes every day, I always knew that a crash could happen, but until this hit and run, I would have never imagined how difficult it would be to get anyone — law enforcement, health professionals, and insurance — to take this crash, and the impact this crash had on my life, seriously. But thankfully, I had Bruce in my corner. He was always quick to respond, and ready to be a partner to help his client reach the best outcome for their life. I could not have been more thankful to have Bruce’s representation, and I recommend him to anyone who might also want this kind of champion in your own corner through the most trying of times. Thank you Bruce, and your team for all the work you do! .
— Laura Miller-Brooks, Alexandria, Virginia, February 2024

This was start-to-finish a very positive and truly remarkable experience.

Bruce and his team were beyond great to work with. Over the course of the case (which took 14 months to resolve), they were supportive, patient, personable, and pleasant; proactive, prompt, and professional in communication; and clear and upfront in explaining the tangled legal/medical/insurance space and my options therein.

Bruce and his team were always available to field my questions or address my concerns—no matter how petty or out of left field they might have been. I felt confident that I was receiving sound legal guidance and the team was working and advocating strongly on my behalf. I never doubted that my case was a priority.

And the resolution was of the case was entirely satisfactory. I received compensation that I felt was fair and which I never would have received without the support of Bruce and his team.

I can’t recommend Bruce and his team enough.
— Gregory Cina, Lake Ridge, VA, December 2023

I was grateful for the clear and concise communication that Bruce provided for my case, which allowed me to focus on recovering.
— Trevor Waldon-Dickey, Alexandria, VA, November 2023

I had the privilege of being represented by Bruce after I was involved in a bicycle accident with a vehicle. From the moment we started working together, Bruce’s communication and dedication were outstanding. He kept me informed every step of the way and made the entire process smooth and stress-free.
I truly had a wonderful experience with Bruce, and I couldn’t have asked for a better advocate. I was so impressed with his professionalism and expertise that I’ve already recommended him to a friend who needed legal assistance after a similar accident. I wholeheartedly endorse Bruce’s services and would recommend him again without hesitation. Thank you, Bruce, for your excellent representation!
— Anonymous, October 2023

Bruce and his team handle the entire process in a very professional manner. They were clear and honest with expectation setting, and communicated very well throughout the case.
— Anonymous, June 2023

I could never have handled my case on my own. I greatly appreciate the expertise Bruce has and his clarity in explaining what was going on and how he would handle the case as issues arose.
— Alexander Olbrich, Washington, DC, April 2023

Really great representation from Bruce and his team throughout this stressful period. Highly recommend.
— Christian Chung, Washington, DC, March 2023

Working with Bruce has been a wonderful experience overall. He has been able to work his magic in my somewhat of a hopeless situation and leverage his expertise to settle the case with better than expected results. Bruce has done a fantastic job setting realistic expectations with me and always walked me through all my options, both via email and on the phone. One hopes to never need a lawyer in life’s situations but if you do need one, Bruce is one of the best.
— Piotr Siestrzewitkowski, Washington, DC, January 2023

Bruce and Alyssa were absolutely amazing from start to finish. Both were sensitive to the case but also provide sound advice and put things in perspective in a way no one else could. I can’t thank them enough, as they have been such a large part of the healing process.
— Ashley Carothers, Washington, DC, December 2022

I’d known Bruce socially for years before engaging his services for my case. As in his personal interactions, his professional ones were top notch. He explained the process in detail and, most important, was up front about the merits of my claim and that helped temper expectations. I’m very lucky to have worked with him and would provide a strong recommendation of him to anyone needing legal representation.
— Agustin Cruz, Arlington, Virginia December 2022

Bruce explained everything clearly and gave thoughtful insight and advice. He was always available to answer questions and helped me to navigate a stressful situation. I recommend Bruce to anyone who has been injured while riding their bike.
— Alicia Jackson, Washington, DC August 2022

I very much appreciated Bruce’s willingness to share his knowledge and experience through timely phone calls and succinct emails. Although the entire process has been emotionally taxing and something completely new (and frankly, overwhelming) to me, Bruce’s ability to communicate promptly, [his] acknowledgement of my hesitations, and [his] knowledge of the law / policies / context are probably unmatched in the area.
— Anonymous, June 2022

Clear expectations set, prompt and attentive replies to my questions along the way. I felt taken care of and having Bruce represent me made the whole situation so much less stressful and overwhelming for me. I was able to focus on healing and recovery and not be bogged down in paperwork.
— Sarah Scott, Washington, DC, May 2022

I strongly recommend Bruce to anybody who has been in the unfortunate situation of being a cyclist hit by an automobile. Bruce was a tremendous help and support throughout the process, providing guidance, assistance, and expertise from day one. Bruce worked with me and for me through and through - until all injuries were healed and recovery was as complete as possible.
— Sara Hwong, Washington, DC, April, 2022

Very professional, experienced and explained overall process well in our first mutual interview session. Was happy with process from beginning to end. Bruce gave me great guidance on realities of the legal process but always left final decision up to me. I learned a lot having Bruce represent me. Would highly recommend Bruce and his staff.
— Frank Rossmann, Chantilly, Virginia, March 2022

Very knowledgeable in his specialty and professional.
— Lance Anderson, Dunn Loring, Virginia, October 2021

This is the first time I’ve had to make a claim like this. Even for something relatively small, having representation made the process simpler because I wouldn’t have known what to expect or how my case compares to others.
— Cooper Martin, Washington, DC, October 2021

Bruce was communicative, straightforward and honest from the start, and good at realistically setting expectations and communicating where negotiations stood.
— Cameron Joseph, Washington, DC, September 2021

Bruce was on top of everything from day 1. He was clear in his explanations and procedure as well as what to expect. Checked in on the regular not just to get a photo or signature but to see how I was feeling and how my recovery was progressing. Bruce is a kind person and exceptional at what he does. You definitely want him in your corner!
— Billy Reams, Washington, DC, August 2021

Bruce, Alyssa and his team showed incredible empathy from the very beginning.... Throughout the process, he and his team were very clear in what they needed to obtain a fair settlement, in a timely manner, with the utmost professionalism and I would highly recommend Bruce and his firm to anyone who is going through a similar situation.
— Kimberly Goldman, Arlington, Virginia, July 2021

Bruce gets results! Extremely helpful, and which took away the headache of navigating insurance.
— Joseph Mak, Cincinnati, Ohio, June 2021

From our first contact, Bruce was clear, to the point, and accurate in everything he said. He made no promises he couldn’t keep and he didn’t waste time with unreasonable speculations. He set reasonable expectations and delivered far more. Most of all, Bruce treated me with respect and dignity that may not have always earned but that he clearly felt I deserved anyway.
— Charles David King, Rockville Maryland, June 2021

Thank you so much! You made this process feel smooth and straightforward.
— Karen Torres, Washington, DC, April 2021

Everything was handled very professionally and with understanding of my concerns and happiness…..Great experience and knowledge of the challenges and safety of cycling, and fully supportive and experienced on how to help a cyclist when they are involved in an accident.
— Kevin D’Amanda, Bethesda, MD, February 2021

I was really satisfied with my representation! Bruce and Alyssa were very kind and communicative. I felt affirmed and respected. I also felt like I had agency and a say in the case proceedings. I am confident Bruce got my case to its best possible outcome.
— Natalie Slater, Arlington, Virginia, January 2021

Bruce is a consummate professional. His competence and experience shine through every call, email, and interaction. He made me very comfortable with a difficult situation and I never doubted for a second that he and his staff would get the best possible outcome.
— Adam Godet, Washington, DC, January 2021

The firm exceeded my expectations. Changes were communicated in a timely manner, and all of my questions and concerns were promptly addressed.

I believe Mr. Deming truly has his clients’ personal well-being as a priority in addition to pursuing compensation. He provided his experiences and recommendations for treatment options when I was unsure of how to get help for my situation.

Mr. Deming was a very calming presence during an extremely stressful period in my life. His demeanor is very soothing, and he is a patient person. His representation on my behalf for legal matters enabled me to focus on getting well, and I believe my improved health is directly attributed to my ability to focus on myself while he advocated my case. I highly recommend his services!
— Barbara Gault, Alexandria, Virginia, January 2021

Bruce is great. He was clear in his explanations of what to expect, and was highly responsive to questions. His wealth of experience with similar cases made him very authoritative in setting our expectations and in recommending options. I hope I never need to draw on his services in the future. But I would strongly recommend Bruce to someone else in my situation.
— Douglas Berenson, Arlington, VA, December 2020

I was totally unaware that my uninsured and underinsured motorists coverage in my auto insurance package covered being hit by an uninsured or underinsured motorist while walking or cycling. I thought this coverage was only applicable to car crashes. Mr. Deming promptly investigated this coverage when the driver at fault turned out to be underinsured.
— Jeffrey Steele, Falls Church, VA, December 2020

The value of an experienced attorney in the aftermath of an accident cannot be underestimated. Mr. Deming knew the process, the folks that we were dealing with, and settled my claim with a minimum of fuss. Without his guidance, I am certain that I would not have seen the settlement that I received nor would it have easy to resolve.
— Lloyd Hough, Alexandria, VA, October 2020

I was happy Bruce had experience representing cyclists. Knowing he has worked on similar cases put me at ease.
— Andrew Falk, Washington, DC, August 2020

Bruce and his team handled my needs and the specifics of the case well. A lot of the stress of dealing with an accident was removed thanks to Bruce and his team.
— Sam Tiratto, Washington, DC, August 2020

I cannot express my gratitude towards Bruce and his representation. Being someone with little to no knowledge of the legal system and completely overwhelmed (scared) of the initial phases of the process, it meant the world to me knowing there was someone truly on my side, ensuring I had a voice in the process. Bruce treated me with kindness, respect, and seemed to genuinely care for my best interests and respectively acknowledged my input and expectations. Beyond the accident and recovery process itself, navigating the health and insurance system was one of the more stressful and anxiety inducing times of my life. When Bruce began representing me, the communications, forms, payments, etc. were all taken off my plate in a way that let me focus on my recovery and other obligations. I was consistently updated on any milestones, actions, and next steps regarding my litigation in way that provided me with the necessary level of detail as to not overwhelm me further. Essentially, Bruce took an enormous weight of my shoulder and did so in the most professional, respectful, and supportive way. My aspirations leading into Bruce’s representation was to ensure I was not financially liable or personally in debt, and did not negatively financially impact the other party’s livelihood. What I received was more than I can have imagined and exceeded well beyond my expectations. I cannot recommend Bruce’s services enough!
— Tim Constien, Washington, DC, July 2020

Bruce was phenomenal. This process was very smooth and expectations were managed. I will recommend you anyone I know who has injuries from a bike accident.
— Christopher Waters, Washington, DC, June 2020

Bruce was quick, professional, and careful in helping me obtain a settlement for my injury. Thank you, Bruce!
— Brian Rowe, Seattle, WA, June 2020

What I appreciated most was the promptness of his replies to any question I raised. If I emailed him, he was always quick with a response.
— Helen Eisner, Washington, DC, May 2020

Bruce handled an otherwise awful experience with expertise and professionalism. I would highly recommend his services.
— Margot Susca, Washington, DC, May 2020

Bruce and staff were very professional, kind and knowledgeable. It is extremely important to have a team that understands how a crash affects the bicyclist and is prepared to obtain the best outcome.
— Edgar Gil Rico, Washington, DC, May 2020

When I contacted Bruce, it was probably one of the scariest days I’ve experienced. During that initial call from the ER, he assured me everything would be ok. He expressed true concern for my injury and general welfare with as much dedication and concern to my case. I never felt like a client, but more so a friend. He and his staff communicated effectively and honestly the issues in my matter. My confidence in their work, allowed me to focus on the road physically healing from my injuries. With a result more positive than anticipated. I will, without hesitation, refer everyone to Mr. Deming. It is with respectful gratitude, I write this comment. Take care.
— Leyland McGann, Washington, DC, May 2020

Bruce was always straightforward, kept me informed and answered all my questions during the course of my case. He fought hard for me and brought a resolution to the case that was better than I could have hoped for. His staff is also excellent. I am so glad I had someone to rely on when I was at my most vulnerable, who could navigate a complicated system for me so that I could focus all my attention on getting well.
— John Wiggins, Washington, DC, March 2020

Bruce is the best! We clicked from the beginning, and it was a pleasure to work with Bruce all the way through. I always had the feeling I was represented competently. I trust Bruce 100%.
— Soren Beech, Harrison, New Jersey, February 2020

The entire process was flawless. No one ever wants to be in a situation where they need a lawyer. But if I did again, I know who I am calling.
— Garrett Stone, Falls Church, Virginia, February 2020

Bruce is amazing at what he does - I can’t speak highly enough of my experience working with him! He is very professional, kind, and readily made himself available and was quick to respond to any questions and emails. He was excellent at communicating and keeping me in the loop of the status of my case, asking for necessary documentation, and helping me navigate a very niche/complex field. He is also one of the nicest people, very easy to work with and very reassuring and caring. I felt like he cared and was really invested in my case. Bruce far exceeded any and expectations, I am so happy he was the one to represent me and am so thankful for the hard work he put in. I would give him a 14/10 if I could! Thank you, Bruce!!
— Carla Derrick, Arlington, VA, January 2020

Bruce was great to work with. To begin, he advised me to keep a regular record of my post-accident experience. This was invaluable at settlement time when I had to write my victim impact statement. Every time there was any development in the case, he called to share whatever news he got with me, and he called regularly to see how I was doing. I’d hire him again in a minute—but hopefully I’ll never have to.
— Charles J. Romeo, Rockville, MD, January 2020

I was intimidated by the law process, but Bruce was approachable and explained things in an understandable manner. I would not have been able to have my expenses covered if it weren’t for Bruce’s help! Thank you!
— Melissa Otterbein, Washington, DC, December 2019

It was really hard to find someone that actually was personally invested in what you were going through and what your experience was. Bruce talked to me on the phone, after hours, from his home, when it was convenient for me.
— Tracy Buro, Washington, DC

Once I talked to Bruce, I knew I [could] trust him. I was already going through enough … and I didn’t want to have to deal with a lot of the insurance, the hospitals, things like that. So for me, I just wanted to know that this was someone that I could trust, and I had enough people telling me, ‘I’ve worked with Bruce before.’ And that really, for me, was what sealed the deal.
— Sigberto Garcia, Washington, DC

He specializes in bike law. If you go to a standard lawyer, they’re really not going to know the cycling laws. They may just view … a bicycle as a toy. Most people do. Bruce rides regularly, and he is a cyclist, and he’s aware of the cycling laws. He specializes in it, and he’s the person you want to represent you as a cyclist.
— Frank Giresi, Washington, DC

Personal injury lawsuits are stressful and difficult to navigate. People who need a personal injury lawyer are often dealing with trauma due to an accident. Talking to a lawyer was the last thing I wanted to do after someone opened their car door into my body as I was passing them on my bike. It took over a year to settle my case and hiring Bruce Deming as my attorney and advocate is undeniably the best decision I could have made. He kept me updated throughout the whole process, handled everything for me and explained the law in a way I could understand. But, most importantly he managed my expectations. All I can say is if you have been in a bike accident, you should contact Bruce.
— Anonymous, Washington, DC, November 2019

Bruce was detailed in how we would proceed from the beginning. He gave me a timeline and told me what he was going to do and how he was going to do it in the initial consultation. He managed my expectations extremely well and updated me promptly whenever there was a change or news. I was happy with his result and happily recommend him to anyone who was in a bicycle accident.
— Philip Colon, Burke, VA, November 2019

The communication was excellent. Bruce made sure that I was in the loop at all time and managed to get me more money than we planned.
— Eric Green, Woodbridge, VA, July 2019

Bruce provided personal, professional, high quality service. As a cyclist, he understands things that a non-cyclist would not. The settlement I received surpassed my expectations and I would highly recommend his firm to anyone faced with a cycling-related incident.
— Suzanne Allan, Washington, DC, April 2019

Bruce did an outstanding job keeping me informed about all aspects of my case, including all the complications and ups and downs. All this led to a settlement in 15 months. He was kind and responsive. I recently referred someone else to him.
— Amy Vennett, Arlington, VA, May 2019

I decided to work with Bruce after I was struck by a car in DC as I was riding my bike to work. With all the injuries, I missed a month of work and needed PT for over a year. Knowing I had Bruce in my corner allowed me to focus on getting better. He managed the process expertly and his reputation and knowledge were a huge asset. In the end, the settlement was significantly more than I expected thanks to Bruce!
— March 2019, Washington, DC

I just received the fantastic news about my settlement. I really can’t thank you enough for your support throughout this process. Dealing with the aftermath of this experience has been somewhat harrowing, as I’m sure you can imagine. Having you in my corner was a huge weight off my mind.
— Heather Z., December 2018

I was hit by a car making an illegal U-turn in DC. The insurance companies were difficult to deal with. Bruce was not. I ended up with a good settlement. Quality services!
— Ryan Franklin, Washington, DC

Processing being hit by a car, my body trying to recover from the injuries, dealing with constant pain, mobility issues and on top of that unexpected medical bill, it was extremely stressful. Especially as I had recently graduated from graduate school, I am still looking for a job and was terrified of debt.

Bruce was a bright light at the end of the tunnel regarding my case. He was easily accessible and devoted, most importantly going above and beyond to ensure the case was going to be resolved the best way possible.

I consider Bruce to be an extraordinary attorney, with outstanding negotiating abilities and very efficient.

I highly recommend him and without a doubt, I am very grateful that he was the one who handled my legal case.
— Kenia Guimaraes, Paris, France

Bruce was very easy to work with and great to have on my side. Bruce educated me well on the process and gave me a thorough understanding of my rights and responsibilities. Bruce was attentive to my questions and answered them in a timely and easily digestible manner. I would highly recommend Bruce to any of my friends and colleagues if they need a bike lawyer!
— Robert, Vienna, VA
Using Mr. Deming’s legal services after being stuck by a motor vehicle was the best thing for me to do. Of course, getting my medical needs met was the priority, and this was also the focus of Mr. Deming. Every time I discussed my case with Mr. Deming, he asked about my condition. Mr. Deming was easy to work with and always took the time to explain what was happening in my case, and explain the rationale behind what was going on. He understands the rights of a bicyclist and was not afraid to go after the insurance company when they pushed back. I am very grateful to have been able to work with Mr. Deming and his staff. Thank you.
— Michael Proffitt, Arlington, VA

No one wants to need Bruce. We cyclists enjoy riding our bicycles but unfortunately accidents do happen. If you are ever in an accident, I cannot recommend Bruce enough. Bruce is not only a lawyer but is a cyclist. He understood and was empathetic to what happened in my accident. He was extremely knowledgeable of my injury (AC joint separation), the doctors that were caring for me, and what my rehab would be like. Bruce took care of all of the dealings with the driver’s insurance company, my health insurance company, and my auto insurance (the driver was under-insured) and kept me informed every step of the way. Finally, he negotiated a settlement that was far beyond what I ever expected. Thank you, Bruce! My family and I appreciate all of your efforts.
— Scott Harvey, Washington, DC

Bruce made me feel at ease and confident in my case when I was at my most vulnerable. He stuck with me through months of adversity and never made me doubt that I would one day be made whole again. My case settled more swiftly and favorably than I had imagined. I would definitely recommend Bruce to others in similar situations!
— Amy Rizzotto, Washington, DC

With Bruce’s help, I was represented with strength, professionalism, and compassion. As a victim of a hit and run while cycling, Bruce was critically helpful to me in my plight. I highly recommend seeking his legal advice.
— Ned Taylor, Washington, DC

Bruce Deming lives up to his claim as “The Bike Lawyer,” period! After suffering through a traumatic bicycle accident, I was unsure of my options. I had never filed a claim or a lawsuit before in my life, and I was very apprehensive about the process. Bruce was a calming presence, and always took the time to answer my questions. Our claim went through some difficult challenges, but Bruce was patient and worked through every issue until the insurance company settled. Ultimately, the compensation was better than I expected and it provided closure for a very painful experience. I would recommend Bruce to any injured cyclist.
— Thomas Lemole, Washington, DC

I worked with Mr. Deming over the course of a year after a bicycle accident in the city. Mr. Deming was exceptionally professional and prompt. But beyond that, Mr. Deming understood the personal dimensions of my personal injury case, and didn’t just focus on the quantifiable injury. He took the time to know a bit more about me, and put this accident in the context of my history and life at the time. Shortly after the accident, I moved abroad for school, and Mr. Deming worked with my schedule (and the time difference), and was available whenever I had a question. Someone recommended Mr. Deming to me right after the accident, and now I am passing his name along with confidence to anyone who is looking for help.
— Abigail Bratcher, Rising Sun, MD

Bruce Deming represented me when I was hit by a car that turned without signaling, causing me a broken collarbone. Bruce immediately went to work, resolved the case in a very efficient manner, and relieved me of any of the stress of dealing with the parties involved. I was very impressed not only with his legal skills but with the manner in which he personally cared for my health and well-being. As an accomplished cyclist, he has a great understanding of cycling and the laws of the road.
— Steven Grant, Washington, DC

In 2007, I was riding my Suzuki motorcycle in Woodbridge when another driver ran a red light, hitting me, and putting me down hard. As an avid runner and active person, my life was completely upended. I lost time at work, my broken bones required surgery and months of physical therapy, and driving was almost impossible. When I called Bruce Deming, he immediately came to my house to make things easier. He explained everything in detail, stayed in touch with me regularly, and followed up on everything he promised. His representation was thorough and professional, and I would highly recommend him to anyone.
— John Parker, Woodbridge, VA

I came to Bruce Deming after being hit by a car while riding my bike. From the first phone call, Bruce provided me legal advice and informed me of my options. Bruce resolved my case quickly and effectively while dealing with all of the medical and insurance issues. All the stress and confusion of the situation was gone and all I had to do was focus on my recovery. As a cyclist himself, Bruce understands the hazards we face on the road and the difficulties cyclists have dealing with dangerous motorists. I would recommend Bruce Deming to anyone injured in an accident, especially if it is bicycle-related.
— M. Steel, Lorton, VA

Last year, I was riding my motorcycle in DC near the Capitol when a car cut in front of me, causing me to crash. My injuries caused me to miss over a month from work, and there was a lot of damage to my bike as well. Bruce Deming helped me out a lot. He assembled all of my medical records, documented my lost wages claim, and fought the insurance company hard when they wouldn’t pay for all the damage to my customized bike. In the end, he did a great job for me. We ended up settling the case favorably, and I would therefore recommend Bruce Deming to anyone injured in an accident.
— Floyd Jackson, Springfield, VA

When I got hit by a truck on my bicycle during a training camp, many people recommended that I seek out Bruce Deming as my lawyer. I am glad that I did. I could say that the ensuing legal process was stressful for me, but the truth is that it was not. Bruce took care of everything and made it exceedingly easy for me. In the end, I was awarded a large settlement due to Bruce’s hard work.
— Nate Wilson, Pro Cyclist, Arlington, VA

Even though my case was not the right fit for Bruce’s practice, he has been extremely generous in providing his guidance on my bicycle accident case for the past year. As a cyclist, I have been mired by my situation - without a bike and the ability to focus on my physical goals. However, without compensation, Bruce has been relentless and unequivocally dedicated to my cause. I appreciate his efforts and will always recommend him.
— Jason Dixon, Washington, DC

Bruce Deming managed to take a very challenging case and follow through to get me a settlement, years after I was hit on my bicycle by a driver who blew by two lanes of stopped traffic to hit me - in a crosswalk. I selected Bruce because of his association with bicycle groups such as WABA. Right after the accident, I was too traumatized to call a lawyer. Then I was too busy to call. Long story short, I called Bruce almost a year after the accident. He stayed with my case even after I moved overseas for work. I can’t recommend Bruce Deming highly enough for anyone else who has to deal with the aftermath of a bicycle accident.
— Anonymous, Washington, DC

I highly recommend the services of Bruce Deming. After [I was] involved in a motorcycle accident, Bruce Deming was very good at communicating the process and gave me sound advice every step of the way. He and his team were prompt in responding to any questions I had. I was very happy with his services.
— Young C., Arlington, VA

No cyclist expects to be involved in an accident. The pervasiveness of the distracted drivers coupled with the exponential growth of cycling as an alternative means of transportation make car/bike accidents inevitable. The trauma of an incident, staggering paperwork, dealings with law enforcement and insurance agencies make it overwhelming. Bruce Deming is a wheelman and a cycling advocate. He is an expert in traffic law and his competent staff includes former insurance company adjusters. Bruce handled my case as expeditiously as possible, and with a fair settlement that I could not have gotten without him. I highly recommend his services if you are involved in an accident.
— Frank Giresi, Vienna, VA

In May of 2010, I was riding my bike home from work when I was hit by an SUV in Arlington, VA, and my hand was badly injured. The investigating officer was not sympathetic, and the police report wasn’t helpful. As a result, several lawyers I contacted refused to take the case. Then a friend recommended I contact Bruce Deming. He immediately agreed to take my case on. He worked hard, kept me informed, and ultimately produced a great settlement for me. I would definitely recommend Bruce Deming to anyone. Great job, man!
— Anthony DiMeglio, Arlington, VA

Bruce was extremely patient in explaining the complex issues of my case. He made himself available by phone and email and answered any questions that I had. He and his specialist consultants were knowledgeable and professional, and they helped guide my expectations and reach a highly satisfying result.
— Kashuo Bennett, Washington, DC

I was riding my bike in Springfield one morning when a car swerved out from the parking lane to my right. The car struck me and knocked me down, resulting in bruises, scrapes, “road rash,” and some damage to my bike. Instead of asking if I was okay, the driver started arguing with me and actually refused to provide me with her name or insurance information. Fortunately, another driver behind us stopped and gave me her cell phone so I could summon police and the EMTs. Incredibly, the officer refused to give a ticket, but did insist that she provide me with her insurance information. That night, she called my home and started berating me again! Enough was enough.

Fortunately, I located Bruce Deming through his website, and even though it was a weekend, he called me back right away. Given that my injuries were limited, I explained I wasn’t sure that my case was significant enough to get a lawyer interested. But when I told Mr. Deming what happened to me, he told me right then that he would take my case, even if it resulted in no fee. He investigated the case, got the driver’s insurance carrier involved, and pursued the case aggressively. Within just a few weeks he secured fair compensation for me, and also for the property damages to my bike. Without his help, I doubt that would have been possible. If you are ever in a bike crash like I was, believe me, this is the lawyer you want on your side. I recommend him highly.
— Dave Borden, Alexandria, VA

“The most frequent accident configuration is the motorcycle proceeding straight then the automobile makes a left turn in front of the oncoming motorcycle.” - The Hurt Report, 1981

On June 19, 2008, I was involved in a motorcycle accident that nearly took my life. What took place is cited above as the most frequent accident motorcyclists encounter. I retained Bruce Deming as my legal counsel for this matter. He provided me with expert counsel and delivered excellent results despite poor investigative work on the part of the responding officer. I highly recommend Bruce Deming’s ability to deliver results that will endure.
— Nicholas A. Noll, Ashburn, VA

In 2007, I was riding my Harley in Falls Church when a delivery truck struck me and caused me to wreck. The accident resulted in a fractured ankle and knee surgery, all of which had a huge impact on my day-to-day life. Fortunately for me, I retained Bruce Deming as my attorney. I could tell that Mr. Deming possessed a great knowledge of motorcycles and motorcycle accidents from the very beginning; this knowledge reassured me that he would be a strong advocate for me with the other party’s insurance carrier. Mr. Deming answered all of my questions thoroughly, kept me closely informed throughout the process, and ultimately obtained a fair result for me. I could not have been happier with him as my lawyer, and would strongly recommend Bruce Deming to anyone seeking exceptional legal representation.

I consider myself to be a DYI person. I prepare my own tax returns. I even represented myself at an IRS Audit. I executed my parent’s estate without legal assistance, and I have negotiated property damage losses with insurance companies. Following my cycling accident of January 2016, when I was struck by a motorist who executed a right turn through a red light signal at the exact moment I was crossing the intersection, I figured I had another DYI project on my hands. I certainly had the time on my hands during the long recovery period. I also believed the facts of the case were straightforward. The driver admitted guilt. She was given a citation. There was an eyewitness who happened to be off-duty law enforcement official. Open and shut case, so I thought. But, after several conversations with the claims adjuster handling the case I learned that the driver contested the citation and had engaged legal council. The insurer stated that they would not make a decision to accept liability for the claim until the traffic court hearing had concluded. Right then I knew I was facing a challenge for which was I unprepared.

After speaking with Bruce, I immediately concluded that he had the right stuff. He had a winning tracking record and prior experience in dealing with the very claims examiner who was working my case. During the process Bruce was consistently accessible and responsive. He planned and executed a successful winning legal strategy. He kept me informed at each step along the way. His forecast of the time it would take to bring the matter to conclusion was dead on. In the end, Bruce was able to achieve for me an equitable settlement. This enabled my medical insurers to be reimbursed for the substantial expenses they incurred on my behalf, and left me with an amount I feel adequately represents the impact of the ordeal.

Faced with similar circumstances, you could not find a better attorney to represent your interests.
