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

In 2021 I was hit by a car while out on a ride with my wife. Bike Law was highly recommended by other local cyclists and with good reason. I am very thankful that I reached out to Wilborn Law. Rachael was my first contact and it was clear early on that, as a cyclist, she really understood what we were dealing with. Working with Peter and Rachael has been the only easy part of my crash and recovery. This entire group is kind, compassionate and determined. They are cyclists as well with a singular law focus so they really understand the reality of dealing with insurance companies and the emotional toll as well. They maintained strong communication and always kept us informed of the status of the case as well as what the process would be like. I am truly pleased with the settlement outcome and I'm grateful for their professionalism and friendship.

When I had my bike accident I had the opportunity to hire a friend of a friend at a discounted rate. However, after talking to Peter and his team I could tell there was a difference, and I’m thankful I made the right choice. They took so much time with me to make sure I was okay each step along the way. I not only felt good about how my case was being handled, but I also felt good about how Peter and his team were fighting for bike advocacy. They took time to explain officers involved in my case the rights of cyclists on the road. They were thorough and tenacious all while being caring and compassionate. Every detail was considered. They always made time for a phone or video call to explained any questions I had along the way. I never would have expected the outcome I had. I’m so thankful to have had the support of Peter and Bike Law after such a stressful time in my life.

In July of 2023 I was hit by a car during a training ride. Although I have had other friends hit in the past, none of them had been happy with their local representation, so I did some research and found Bike Law. I am very thankful that I reached out to Wilborn Law. Working with Peter's team, Rachael in particular, has been the only easy part of my crash and recovery. This entire group is kind, compassionate and determined. They have suffered their own tragedies, so they actually "get it" and understand the emotional toll as well. This team takes care of EVERYTHING. They checked in often and kept me well updated on the progress of my case. I am more than pleased with the settlement outcome and I am forever grateful for their professionalism and friendship.

Having never worked with an Attorney for an accident claim, Wilborn Law was very supportive and helpful in their process with little use of complex legal terms when explaining the next steps. Their team and Peter's hands on approach was more than I could have imagined, and the advice they gave helped attain the maximum outcome in the settlement!

Hired Attorney Mr. Peter Wilborn

Bike Law represented me in a cycling related incident. From the beginning, they were simply amazing. Their passion for protecting cyclists was incredible, their knowledge of cycling and the highly technical and expensive equipment we use was vast, their willingness to dig deeply into research related to my specific accident was admirable, and their professional aggressiveness in seeking justice was powerful. They kept me well informed, responded to my communications quickly, and they approached mediation very well prepared and formidable. My result exceeded my expectations, and I could not be happier. But my greatest impression was not how they represented me in a relatively minor incident, but by their mission to ensure the rights and safety of all of us in the cycling community, on a national level. They are the knights in shining armor coming to the rescue of cyclists who have been wronged. They do so with passion, professionalism, expertise and preparedness. Simply the best!

I always felt that Peter and his team had my best interests at heart and that they were doing everything in their power to represent those interests in their dealings with opposing counsel. I thoroughly appreciate the time Peter and Rachael spent on the phone with me explaining our current position and different options as we progressed throughout the process.

Working with Peter and his colleague, Rachael were very easy. They were responsive to my inquires through email & texting, during the entire & very lengthy process. We were faced with a daunting task of trying to track down a defendant who attempted to avoid the case entirely. However, Peter & Racheal were very persistent at seeing the process through! Finally a settlement was reached! I would definitely recommend both Peter & Rachael to fight your case! Their knowledge of the many & intricate bike laws that are out there is astounding! I am very grateful to Peter Wilborn & his firm for their help!
