UNINSURED/UNDERINSURED MOTORIST COVERAGE

In many areas, almost 30% of the drivers are uninsured! It is important to protect yourself by purchasing uninsured motorist coverage. This type of coverage pays for medical expenses, property damage (motorcycle, accessories, and clothing), and for pain and suffering and/or disability to the extent of your policy.
Underinsured motorist coverage begins when the other driver's insurance is depleted. Should you be injured to the extent that you are in the hospital for several weeks or you miss work for an extended length of time, and experience great pain, suffering, and/or disability, underinsured motorist insurance picks up to pay for these damages to the policy's limits. It will also cover the damage to your motorcycle up to your policy limits beyond the coverage of the other driver's insurance.
Uninsured/underinsured motorist insurance is the most important coverage a motorcyclist can purchase, and should be purchased in the highest limits of coverage possible. You should consult your insurance agent for this type of insurance and ask about any exclusion on this type of policy.
