CrashAidTreat it as its own crash type
Pick Bicycle in the form, not Pedestrian Hit, if you were on a bike. The injuries can look similar and the coverage questions are not identical. Say whether you were in a bike lane, on the sidewalk, or in the travel lane.
This page does not cite a bicycle-specific statute number, because the right section depends on the movement. The pedestrian article's discussion of comparative negligence and the 14-day PIP issue for people outside a car is the closest longer reading we publish. An attorney has to match the statute to the facts.
Where to describe the road
St. Petersburg, Palm Harbor, Sarasota, and Winter Haven are linked as places riders use. US 19, Alternate 19, and US 41 are geographic names on the city pages. They are not cited here as high-crash bicycle corridors.
Photograph the bike, the car, and the lane markings. A bent wheel and a missing light both become arguments later. Get medical care the same day if you can.
Questions
I was on a bike. Which form option do I use?
Choose Bicycle. Use Pedestrian Hit only if you were walking. Add the lane and the direction of travel in the description.
Does this page name a bicycle statute?
No. The section that applies depends on how you were riding. This page will not guess a number. A participating attorney can do that after reviewing the facts.
Can a bike crash still be a referral request if I have no car insurance?
Yes. You can submit the form. Whether any auto policy's PIP applies is a coverage question, not something this page can answer for you.
