If you are included in a motorcycle accident, call 911 promptly. Even though auto accident is mild, you still have to submit an incident report. It will help protect you from any sort of untrue allegations from others involved.
Preserve all the proof from the incident as you can. Work with a any camera to take pictures of the entire incident scene, such as damages to your motorbike, the other vehicle, as well as related injuries. Because the police statement will illustrate the important points of the incident, photos can really help support your statement.
Get the other driver's identify, address, birth date, phone number, driving license number, insurance provider, (VIN), license plate number, and contact information for any witnesses. Again, the report must include this info, but by finding it for your own personal records, you'll be able to help clear up any issues once they come up.
Last of all, call your insurance company. Practically never provide a recorded statement to the other party's insurance provider.
Also, don't ever give a recorded statement to your own insurance firm until you have spoken with a legal professional. Examine every releases or papers thoroughly before signing them.
Bike Laws
If you're a seasoned rider, you're probably already familiar with your state's motorcycle policies, but what if you're vacationing countrywide or into a neighboring state? In the instance of an accident, the other party's insurance carrier will attempt to stick the responsibility on you, and if you have broke another state's driving laws that could have caused the accident, you may be held accountable.
In addition, although you may enjoy not needing to wear head gear where you live, the District of Columbia and 20 other states have laws and regulations mandating the use of headgear for all bikers. If you intend to drive, take a minute to fully familiarize the helmet rules of other states where you ride.
Insurance Plans
Insurance prerequisites vary from state-to-state, so choosing coverage options for your policy can be puzzling. Plus, not all the coverage options are offered in all states or in all situations.
If available in your region, consider including additional types of coverage and maximizing any minimum requirements. For example:
Bodily injury liability insurance will secure you in case you are discovered responsible for contributing to an accident. We advise a minimum insurance policy coverage sum of $100,000 for each person and $300,000 for every occurrence.
While most states need all bikers and drivers to get adequate insurance coverage, you will discover an alarming number of people who attempt to avoid doing so. Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage provides protection if you are injured in an accident caused by a driver who doesn't have insurance, or doesn't have enough insurance to fully compensate you for your losses. We recommend at least $100,000 per person and $300,000 per occurrence of coverage.
While choosing an insurance carrier other than the one that insures your cars may save you some money, doing so will usually eliminate any possibility of using the uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage on your automobile policy to give you additional protection in a motorcycle accident. If at all possible, keep your motorcycle on the same policy as the other cars in your household. By doing so, you also may be able to request stacking, which will increase your coverage by the total amount of vehicles on your policy. For example, if you have $100,000 per person and $300,000 per occurrence limits on each vehicle, and you have 2 vehicles on your policy, stacking your policies will allow you to receive coverage in the amount of $200,000 person and$600,000 per occurrence.
