Understanding Uninsured Motorist Coverage<\/h1>\n

Motorcycle riders share the road with drivers who may have little or no insurance. Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage may provide important protection when an at-fault driver does not have enough insurance to address a covered loss.<\/p>\n

\n

Available coverage, limits, definitions, and claim requirements vary by state and insurance company, so it is important to understand what your motorcycle policy actually provides.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Other Drivers on the Road<\/div>\n

Uninsured and Underinsured Drivers Are Not the Same<\/h2>\n

Both situations involve another driver’s insurance, but the difference is whether that driver has no applicable liability insurance or simply does not have enough to fully address a covered claim.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

<\/p>\n

\n
Uninsured Motorist<\/div>\n

The At-Fault Driver Has No Applicable Insurance<\/h3>\n

An uninsured motorist situation may occur when another driver causes an accident but does not have applicable liability insurance.<\/p>\n

Depending on the policy and state, uninsured motorist coverage may help with certain covered losses when the responsible driver is uninsured.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
Underinsured Motorist<\/div>\n

The At-Fault Driver Has Insurance, but It May Not Be Enough<\/h3>\n

An underinsured motorist situation may occur when the responsible driver has liability insurance, but the available limit is insufficient for a covered loss.<\/p>\n

Available underinsured motorist coverage may help address certain remaining covered amounts, subject to policy provisions and applicable law.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
After an Accident<\/div>\n

How Another Driver’s Insurance Can Affect Your Claim<\/h2>\n

After an accident, the available insurance and facts of the loss can affect which coverage may respond and how a claim is evaluated.<\/p>\n

Uninsured motorist coverage is not a substitute for every type of motorcycle coverage. Collision, medical-related coverage, property-damage coverage, and other protections may operate separately depending on the policy.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
Step 1<\/div>\n

Determine Responsibility
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

The facts of the accident and applicable law can affect who is considered responsible for the loss.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Step 2<\/div>\n

Review the Other Driver’s Coverage
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

The claim may involve determining whether the responsible driver has applicable insurance and what limits are available.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Step 3<\/div>\n

Review Your Own Policy
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your insurer may review whether uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage applies under your motorcycle policy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Step 4<\/div>\n

Apply Coverage Limits
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Any available payment remains subject to the limits, definitions, exclusions, conditions, and other provisions of the policy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
\n
Review Your Protection<\/div>\n

Why Uninsured Motorist Limits Deserve Attention<\/h2>\n

Selecting coverage is not only about whether uninsured motorist protection is available. The amount of coverage and the way the policy is structured can also matter after a serious motorcycle accident.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Coverage Availability
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Uninsured and underinsured motorist options can vary by state, insurance company, and policy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Bodily Injury Limits
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Available limits can affect the amount of protection provided for eligible covered injuries after an accident.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Property Damage
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Uninsured motorist property-damage protection may be treated differently or may not be available in every state or policy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Policy Details
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Definitions, deductibles, stacking rules, offsets, exclusions, and claim requirements can affect how available coverage works.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Do not review the price alone.<\/strong> When comparing motorcycle policies, look at the actual uninsured and underinsured motorist limits and available options. Two policies with similar premiums may provide very different protection.<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
