00:07 hi
00:07 i’m greg barthelette with barthelette law if
00:09 you’re a florida bicyclist and involved
00:11 in an accident with a car
00:13 probably wouldn’t expect or assume that
00:15 your own auto or car insurance policy
00:17 will provide coverage for your bicycle
00:18 accident
00:19 and this is a reasonable assumption
00:21 mainly because you are not driving your
00:23 car
00:24 but surprisingly your car insurance
00:26 policy may provide coverage for the loss
00:29 now if you purchased um insurance which
00:32 stands for uninsured or underinsured
00:34 motorist coverage
00:35 this potential coverage may provide
00:38 coverage for your accident
00:40 specifically if the driver who hit you
00:42 either has no
00:43 insurance or has very little insurance
00:47 these provisions might come in and
00:49 actually provide compensation for your
00:50 bicycle accident
00:52 what’s important about these provisions
00:53 is it doesn’t matter if you’re on your
00:54 bicycle
00:55 if you were walking or simply a
00:57 pedestrian the important thing is that
00:59 you’re involved in an accident with a
01:01 driver
01:02 who is considered either uninsured or
01:04 underinsured
