Biography

Meet Peter Wilborn — pedestrian lawyer in Winter Garden

Peter Wilborn is a founder based in Winter Garden, FL. The practice focuses on Pedestrian and Personal Injury. Peter has over 30 years of legal experience. Currently practicing at Wilborn Law. Rated 5.0 out of 5 from 56 client reviews.

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.
