Does my own automobile insurance cover me for accidents when I am on my bicycle?

It depends on which type of automobile insurance you’re talking about.

If you’re on your bicycle and get injured by another motorist, then your car insurance Personal Injury Protection (or “PIP”) will cover you. PIP is also called “No-fault Law.” The law states that your car insurance will pay for 80% of your medical expenses and 60% of your lost wages — if you are injured while cycling.
