About Wilborn Law

Wilborn Law serves DC, FL, MD, SC, and VA.

Since 1998 after having suffered a cycling fatality in his own family, Founding Partner Peter Wilborn has represented over 750 cyclists and their families on their very worst days. Bike crashes are different from other personal injury cases in many ways: mostly because we treasure our time in the saddle, and the contrast between our joy and instant tragedy can be devastating -- especially when the crash takes that joy away.

Peter is a life-long cyclist (his raced, commuted, toured and, most of all, ridden for fun), collects N+1 bikes, and knows that cycling is the best way to improve our world, our local communities, and ourselves.

As the Managing Partner of Wilborn Law, he represents injured cyclists. As an advocate for better and safer cycling, Peter is the Founder of the Bike Law Network of independent bike lawyers across the country and the Co-Founder of the non-profit Bike Law Foundation, each of which serves a different function to protect all people who ride.

Peter lives and breathes our cause: he testifies before legislatures for legal reform, speaks to bicycle clubs and advocacy groups, and trains law enforcement on bicycle safety and bicycle laws.

Peter was awarded the Pro Bono Lawyer of the Year award (1 of 5 in the country) by the American Bar Association, in addition to awards from the South Carolina Bar Association and advocacy groups. He's been rated a Pre-Eminent Attorney for over a decade.

One of the greatest strengths of Wilborn Law is its dedicated, devoted, and experienced staff led by nationally known cycling advocate Rachael Maney. Rachael is a former member of Team USA in triathlon and the Co-Founder of the Bike Law Foundation. The firm's associate attorney is Todd Messner who spent a decade as a lawyer's lawyer and now does nothing but bicycle litigation.

Hired Attorney Mr. Peter Wilborn

On January 1, 2020. I was rear-ended after exiting a traffic circle. While the injuries were relatively minor (compared to what usually happens when an auto hits a cyclist - fractured acromion, hairline fracture of my C7 cervical disk) my bike was totaled, and almost every piece of clothing I had on was ruined. At the urging of my older son, we contacted Bike Law and were put in touch with Peter Wilborn. At every step of the way, Peter and his staff kept me up to date on the status of the case, even though the pandemic certainly slowed down and complicated things. At no point was I dismissed for asking questions, or told anything like, "when there's something to report, we'll let you know." Long story short - the driver contested our claim, and we eventually went to depositions, after which the driver caved and acceded to all of our demands. Highly recommended for anyone involved in a bike crash.

Peter and his team were phenomenal. Super capable folks, great communicators, and incredibly down to earth and "human." They secured the best possible outcome for my case in a timely manner, with minimal lawyer speak.

Peter was an incredible amount of help in a situation that could have gotten handily out of control. He was a very needed trail guide and voice of reason throughout the entire process. I cannot quantify how many hours he saved me and how much stress he kept out of my life. Hopefully I won't need to seek his services again, but if I ever do I will not hesitate to call.

Peter Wilborn, and folks at Wilborn Law have all been a pleasure to work with. I approached them with my case and files after injury from unmarked construction. We were all aware that it was going to be difficult to find those responsible and pursue proper compensation, however he was persistent at providing me both explanations and options. Communication was always available even across country. From what I have come to learn about Peter, is that you will be working with someone who is deeply motivated by his work and cares about his clients - that attitude is contagious, a natural antidote to what can be a traumatic experience for many. They also strive to meet the needs of their clients within a reasonable budget, and were gracious with my case. Even if things had not worked out, from start to finish I had peace of mind that someone had at least pursued the issue and clearly informed me as well.

I went to Bike Law after my incident and extremely glad that I did! The staff are kind and personable and it was so helpful to have them take care of everything. We obtained the full requested amount out of court which I am super grateful for! Further, I was very happy to support the business because they are dedicated to helping bicyclists which encourages all levels of government to make the roads safer us. If you are on the fence after your incident, give them a call!

The Bike Law Firm, and its attorneys Peter and Rachael went above and beyond with assisting me in my hit and run cycling accident. They were literally a phone call or text away at all times, answered all of my questions and concerns & guided me through this process. They were supportive and an amazing resource, making sure that I was being treated by the best doctors for my pertaining injuries. My family and I are eternally grateful for your attention, care and services.

Peter and Rachael made my experience the best it could be given the circumstances. When other lawyers would take days to get back to me and their staff always just took messages, I had a direct line of communication with Wilborn Law and Bike Law all the time and felt like I truly mattered. Also, this team got me the maximum recovery possible because of the extensive experience they have with bike crash victims. They also helped me with the criminal side of things which meant lots of extra time and work for them on my behalf. I recommend Peter and Rachael 100%.

After being struck while riding I had no idea how complicated the process of recovering damages would be. All I wanted was to feel like I was more than a case number so I could focus on getting my life back. It was Peter and his firm that inspired me to become a bike advocate and help others after they suffered the same injuries (not just the physical ones) after a bike crash and Peter's commitment and leadership within our community continues to change the way that crash victims and other marginalized people are represented and how they recover. I would never hire any one else.

Peter, Rachael, and their team were extremely helpful and responsive. They advocate tirelessly and passionately for the cycling community, put forward a great effort to achieve justice, and do their very best to explain somewhat complicated legal concepts and details in a comprehensible way. Fully recommended.

Rachael & Team couldn't have been more helpful or on top of it. Every interaction from the initial call with Peter to my final call with Racheal was very professional & educational. I have already and will continue to direct those that have been involved in a bicycle crash to this team. Thank y'all so much!
