Atty. 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.
