CrashAidPIP can follow you out of the car
The pedestrian article explains that no-fault benefits can apply to a person on foot through their own policy, a resident relative's policy, or, if neither exists, the striking driver's PIP. That is coverage for early medical bills, not a finding that the driver was at fault.
Comparative negligence still applies. Crossing away from a crosswalk or against a signal can be argued against you. Past 50 percent fault, a negligence recovery can be barred. CrashAid will not estimate that share.
Crosswalks, not crash rankings
St. Petersburg, Orlando, Tampa, and Sarasota have downtown crosswalks. This page does not cite a pedestrian crash study for those cities, so it does not rank blocks. Describe the intersection and whether you had a walk signal.
Photos of the signal, your clothing, and the car's damage fade as evidence. Get medical care even if you feel able to walk away.
Questions
I do not own a car. Can PIP still apply?
It might, through a resident relative's policy or the striking driver's PIP, as the pedestrian article describes. Do not assume it is available. A referral lets an attorney check.
What does section 316.130 require?
It requires vehicles to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks, and it also sets duties for people on foot. The pedestrian article discusses both sides. It is not a guarantee that the driver pays.
Should I pick Pedestrian Hit if I was in a crosswalk?
Yes. Add whether the signal said walk. That detail matters more than the menu label alone.
