Don’t Get Caught Without These Types of Motorcycle Insurance
Posted by Stetson Hazlitt on July 25, 2009
There are lots of different types of coverage insurance for motorcycles available for motorcycle riders and owners. The four main kinds of coverage are what we will be focusing on in this article. These four main types of insurance are: under insured coverage, uninsured coverage, motorcycle collision coverage and bodily injury liability coverage.
1. Insurance Coverage To Cover Under Insured Riders:
This type of insurance naturally covers your expenses when a the other rider, when they cause the accident, do not have adequate insurance to cover the costs that are associated with the accident.
We suggest that every rider carries at least $100,000 per person or under insured coverage and $300,000 per accident. This is shown in the example that a rider has 100/300 under insured insurance coverage.
2. Insurance Coverage To Cover The Uninsured Riders:
Having to cover the expenses of a completely uninsured rider is even worse than having to do so for an under insured rider. At least the under insured person did had some insurance. In the case of the uninsured, this person who caused the wreck had no insurance at all and most likely they have nothing that would make then a viable target for legal action.
This is why we highly recommend that you purchase uninsured motorcycle coverage. Insurance providers have different types of exclusions for this type of coverage so we recommend you talk with each potential provider individually to see what they cover.
3. Bodily Injury Liability Coverage:
Most states in the United States require bodily injury insurance coverage. When you are at fault in an accident this is the method of insurance that will cover injury to others and to their personal property (motorcycle or vehicle). Because this kind of insurance is directly related to your degree of liability for the crash we recommend that you have a much as you can afford comfortably.
An example of bodily damage insurance is 15/30/10. This means that $15,000 at most will be paid out to cover each persons injuries with a total accident payout of $30,000. The final number refers to the total payout for property damage.
4. Collision Coverage:
Collision coverage is the type of insurance that pays for the cost of replacing your bike in the event that it is stolen, or repairing your motorcycle in the event of a crash. Most insurance providers do not care who is at fault in the situation.
Collision coverage comes with a deductible that needs to be paid by you, the policy owner, before the insurance provider will pay on the coverage. The higher your deductible, the lower your monthly payment for this insurance will be.
Final Conclusion:
Looking for good motorcycle insurance can be hard if you are not experienced with it. We recommend that you sit down and make a list of possible providers and request a quote from each of the. Make sure that they are all giving quotes for the same type of coverage. When you decide what company you want to buy motorcycle insurance from make sure that they are reputable and make sure that they have good customer service.
