About Peter Wilborn

Since 1998 after having suffered a cycling fatality in my own family, I have 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.

As the Managing Partner of Wilborn Law, I represent injured cyclists. As an advocate for better and safer cycling, I am 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.

I live and breathe our cause: I testify before legislatures for legal reform, speak to bicycle clubs and advocacy groups, and train law enforcement on bicycle safety and bicycle laws.

My work has been nationally recognized: in 2007 I 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. I have been rated a Pre-Eminent Attorney for over a decade.

This law firm is top notch. I was struck by a vehicle on my bicycle and they handle all with ease. The communication is outstanding and questions are answered promptly. By them taking care of everything, I was able to focus on my recovery. Highly recommended!

Working with Wilborn Law for a personal injury case was life-changing, to say the least. I not only developed a professional relationship with my lawyers, but a meaningful, personal one as well. Wilborn Law supported me through a multi-year case - despite this lengthy time period, they checked in on me, and were always pushing to gain momentum and progress for my case, and were intensely detail oriented about gathering evidence and making sure my story was heard. They also won my case, and were instrumental in supporting my decision making progress on mediation day. I'm forever grateful to their effort, personal value system and strong sense of morals. A terrible accident led to working with Wilborn Law, but their legal representation reaped the maximum reward out of the situation. Thank you!

Wilborn Law was the best team I could have found. Throughout the case, they were always available to help me, and kept me informed and confident. We consistently stayed in touch via whatever form of contact felt best in the moment, which allowed for great flexibility and ease in communicating. From the very beginning of the journey following the bike incident I experienced, the team has been one of my greatest supports. They have been there for me when I needed them, and with their guidance, we were able to compile evidence proving that my injuries were the fault of the other party and proving the significant financial damage of the incident, and we were thankfully able to reach a very satisfying settlement.

Working with Rachael Maney and the team at Wilborn Law (Bike Law) was one of the best decisions I could have made after my accident. They were professional, organized, and genuinely cared about helping me through a difficult situation instead of making me feel like just another case file. Rachael was easy to communicate with, explained things clearly, and stayed on top of every detail throughout the process. Her team was responsive, supportive, and made everything feel much less overwhelming. What I appreciated most was how committed they were to getting the best outcome while also making sure I felt informed and taken care of the entire time. I’m extremely grateful for their help and would confidently recommend Rachael Maney and Wilborn Law to anyone needing a strong, trustworthy legal team after a cycling accident.

My wife was struck by a negligent motorist while cycling to work in 2022, and we reached out to Bike Law for help. It was such a relief to leave our legal case entirely in the hands of compassionate experts like Rachael and Peter and not have to focus on anything except repairing my wife's physical and emotional well-being. We immediately sensed that they were not "ambulance chasers" but were strongly committed to the rights and protection of fellow cyclists. Rachael guided us through not only the legal steps but also gave helpful recommendations about therapy and physical recovery. She always responded promptly to our messages and informed us whenever there were updates, deadlines, or developments. They remained in contact with us throughout the process and even after the settlement, and our outcome was much better than we estimated. If you are the victim in a cycling incident, we truly recommend that you contact Bike Law. We are so grateful that they do what they do!

Peter, Rachael, and their team were great in all aspects when handling my personal injury case. From the initial phone call with Rachael, to all of the communication with their team, and the endless support in between. They helped turn a traumatic experience into something of ease and made sure I was kept in the loop every step of the way. I am forever grateful for the Wilborn bike law team and cannot recommend them enough!!

After being hit by a car during a training ride—without knowing the driver’s identity or insurance—Wilborn Law was recommended to me by friends, and I’m so grateful they were. Rachael reached out immediately and was professional, compassionate, and guided me through every step while working with the police and navigating the insurance process. Their team was highly responsive to texts, calls, and emails, and always on top of everything. When deciding whether to pursue legal action, they provided clear advice, explained different scenarios, and helped me understand my options. Thanks to their dedication, I was able to recover the maximum policy amount to cover my hospital bills, physical therapy, and replace my damaged bike. They made a stressful situation much more manageable, especially with my busy schedule. They are reliable, trustworthy, and strong advocates for cyclists. I highly recommend Wilborn Law to anyone who has unfortunately been in an accident and needs support.

Peter, Rachel and the team were outstanding to work with. With the complex laws around Bicycles and how these are tio be handled, they know it all and then some. They were able to not only work with local authorities regading my case, but educated me along the way to be able to understand how the laws work and how best to move forward. I am very appriciative for how and what they did and would reccomend them to anyone who has had a biking accident.

Wilborn Law's, Rachael Manley did excellent work for my settlement. I was struck from behind while cycling on a rural road. Rachael took my case seriously, was able to obtain maximum settlements from all insurance companies for both personal property and injury. She also negotiated all of the CMS (Medicare) issues including a reduction in the amount I was required to reimburse to them. I would highly recommend Wilborn Law if you find yourself in an Auto / Cycling crash situation. This is, unfortunately, the second time I have needed to use Wilborn Law, and the third time I have used the Bike Law Network. Beyond the review: My experiences suggest that any cyclist should have more than the minimum Uninsured Motorist and Underinsured Motorist Insurance coverage on their automobiles. The lions share of all of my settlements came from these coverages, not the minimum coverages that the offending parties carried.
