Florida is one of the most dangerous states for people on foot and on bikes. When a vehicle hits a person, there is nothing to absorb the impact, so injuries are often severe even at lower speeds. If that happened to you in or around St. Petersburg, Pinellas County, a free review can help you understand your options before you talk to an insurance company.
What Matters in a St. Petersburg Pedestrian Accident Claim
Severe injury risk
Head injuries, fractures, and internal injuries are common because there is no protection from the impact.
Your own PIP may help
In Florida, your own auto insurance can sometimes apply even when you were walking or biking.
Right-of-way facts
Where the crash happened and who had the right of way are details insurers fight over.
Where St. Petersburg Crashes Happen
Serious St. Petersburg crashes tend to happen on I-275, US-19, and 4th Street North, along with Gandy Boulevard and the approaches to the Sunshine Skyway and Howard Frankland bridges. Wide, fast arterials through the city are also where a lot of pedestrian and bicycle crashes occur.
After a Serious St. Petersburg Crash
People seriously hurt in a St. Petersburg crash are often taken to Bayfront Health St. Petersburg, or across the bay to Tampa General's trauma center. The treatment and records from those first days matter to any claim that follows.
Handling a St. Petersburg Injury Claim
A St. Petersburg injury claim generally falls under Pinellas County and Florida's Sixth Judicial Circuit. A free review carries no cost and no obligation, and submitting it does not create an attorney-client relationship.
Florida Deadlines Can Apply
Florida sets time limits on injury claims. Under Florida Statutes § 95.11, many negligence claims have a limitations period (commonly two years for negligence), but the exact deadline depends on your case. Evidence from a St. Petersburg pedestrian accident can disappear quickly, so it is best not to wait to get a review.
