Why Do I Need Motorcycle Insurance?

Here are a few things to consider:

If you’re in an accident or your motorcycle is stolen, it costs money, often a lot of money, to fix or replace it.

If you or a passenger is injured in an accident, medical costs can be extremely expensive.

If your motorcycle is responsible for damage or injury to others, you may be sued for much more than you’re worth.

Your motorcycle may be one of your most prized possessions. It deserves special protection.

How Collision Is Different Than Comprehensive—and Other Handy Information

We know the language used by the insurance industry can be confusing. That’s why we want to make sure you clearly understand your options and know precisely what you’re paying for. Here are the terms we use. (Most policies are a combination of several of these coverages.)

These protect you and other people

Liability Coverage

This coverage helps protect you from expenses related to injuries or property damage you or your motorcycle cause in an accident. In most states, some also cover Guest Passenger liability, which covers you in the event that a passenger is injured on the motorcycle. When choosing liability coverage, consider things like how much money you make and the property you own. Your liability coverage should be high enough to protect you if you are sued after an accident.

Medical Coverage

This coverage provides for certain necessary medical expenses for you and any passenger that are the result of an accident.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage

This coverage typically pays for expenses associated with injury or death from an accident caused by an uninsured, underinsured or hit-and-run driver. It also covers you if you are hit as a pedestrian.

Roadside Assistance

Provides you with a roadside assistance benefit for breakdown.

These protect your motorcycle

Collision Coverage

This coverage pays to repair the damage done to your motorcycle due to an accident. Your agent can help you determine the degree you need this coverage based on the value of your motorcycle.

Comprehensive Coverage

This coverage pays to repair or replace your motorcycle if it is stolen, vandalized or damaged in some way other than in a collision.

Custom Parts and Equipment

Many motorcycle owners like to customize their rides, and some coverage pays for customized parts and equipment, often at no extra charge.
