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

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%.

Hired Attorney Mr. Peter Wilborn

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!

Mr. Wilborn is the nation's leading attorney on cases involving bicycle crashes. He and his firm go way above and beyond the usual role of an attorney to not only get the best outcome for the client but to work with the client with great empathy and compassion. He and his firm is also a leading advocate for bicyclist safety on policy and legislative issues. I have personally worked with him as both a client and fellow advocate and have recommended him to others. They work diligently for individual justice and broadly for the bicycling community.

It was a long road back to feeling mentally and physically well after being struck by an suv while biking, however one organization that was a true blessing through this challenging time was at @bikelaw Their team of skilled professionals doesn’t just advocate and fight for you, but they also have a deep understanding of the pain your going through and as a result make the process of healing and recovery a bit easier! Bike Law is such an asset for the cycling community when we as athletes and riders are thrust into challenging circumstances. The first conversation with @rachaelmaney made me instantly feel more at ease as she understood how I was feeling and gave me a sense of confidence that we had a great team in our corner, it ultimately made what we were going through just a little easier. Thank You Peter and Bike Law for all you do to advocate for the cycling community, working hard to make something we love safer to enjoy on a day to day basis.

Hired Attorney Mr. Peter Wilborn

Never thought I would need Peter or the team until I was laying in the Emergency Room courtesy of an inattentive driver after being struck while riding. I know it sounds cliché, but in that moment I realized just how much I didn't know about the (year long) process that was going to begin that day or just how injured I really was. Luckily my fiancée and I found Peter and his dedicated team of professionals who have specialized knowledge directly related to our sport that is incomparable to any other legal group or foundation of which I am aware. They also bring an unrivaled commitment to keeping you as the client and your family aware of every step taken on your behalf and making sure that your mindset does not suffer a "second crash" as a result of the actual one. Can't recommend them any more to any fellow rider in my unfortunate situation.

I can't thank Peter Wilborn and the entire Bike Law team enough. After I was hit by a car they stepped in and guided me through the entire process. I never had to talk to an insurance company and was fully reimbursed for all medical expenses, property damage and pain and suffering. I couldn't have gone through this process without them!

After my accident, I was referred to many accident attorneys and I felt like I was just a number. Peter made me feel human and was compassionate and understand of my accident and the resulting injuries. I was more than happy with the outcome.

Working with Mr. Wilborn and his staff was a very pleasant experience resulting from a situation that wasn't pleasant at all. I reached out to Mr. Wilborn after being completely ignored by the individuals involved in my crash and their insurance company. He immediately contacted me and talked me through the process. While he made it perfectly clear that my case would not result in a huge payout, I hoped to at least recoup the cost of replacing my bike. In the end, Mr. Wilborn secured a settlement from the insurance company that was literally seven times the amount I would've settled for had they simply returned my calls. I would definitely recommend Mr. Wilborn!
