Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents can be the most devastating accidents because the driver or passenger  on a motorcycle has very little protection.  The injuries sustained are generally much more severe and the fatality rates  much higher than automobile accidents. 

Many people who ride motorcycles do not have adequate insurance. Insurance companies recognize that motorcycles are much more dangerous than automobiles, and as a result charge much more for UIM (underinsured motorist) and PIP (no-fault medical) coverage.

It is important for you as a motorcycle rider, to be aware of your own insurance policy coverage. You should ensure that you have UIM coverage because severe injuries occur on motorcycles, and oftentimes the at-fault party does not have enough insurance to cover the medical expenses  of the injured person. For that reason, UIM coverage is a must.
