Representation in Iowa bicycle accident cases
Jim Freeman first became involved in legal representation of bicyclists when a friend was struck by a car during a group ride in 2006. She sustained a head injury and couldn’t recall the details of the collision. The insurance company initially denied the claim suggesting that the bicyclist had simply darted in front of the car. Jim investigated the accident and through witness interviews he determined what really happened. Eventually he was able to help his friend get compensation for her injuries.Since then Jim built his client base through word of mouth among cyclists who knew him as a fellow commuter, bike racer, and touring cyclist.

As an adult, Lawyer Jim enjoys touring, racing and mechanics. In 2006 he rode from Chicago to Montreal with the Continental Pedal. Lawyer Jim took first fixed, second overall in the 2007 Tour Da Chicago alleycat series. Jim also has many years of experience as a bicycle mechanic.
