MOTORCYCLE Insurance
What Is Motorcycle Insurance?
This type of insurance offers financial protection in case of a motorcycle accident, theft, damage, or loss. It includes liability coverage if you are responsible for someone else’s injuries or damage to their property. These policies cover motorcycles, fast street bikes, choppers, crotch rockets, Segways, and mopeds. You can contact an insurance agent to find out exactly what type of insurance your state requires.
Who It Is For
Only Washington D.C. and 24 states require mopeds to have liability insurance, but nearly all of the states want insurance for anyone with a motorcycle. This includes scooters with at least a 50 cubic centimeters engine or a top speed of 30 miles per hour. The laws for slower bikes like a moped vary.
How It Works
If you have motorcycle insurance with property damage liability and bodily injury insurance coverage, any damage you might cause to someone’s property will be covered. It may even cover a portion of the legal costs. Medical coverage for you and a passenger are also available. How much your policy will cover depends on the limits you select when you purchase the policy.
