Motorcycle Accident Settlement

Motorcycle Accident Settlement When There Is No Insurance Or Not Enough Insurance

You may have been injured in a motorcycle accident where the driver who caused the accident and injuries either does not have insurance or does not have enough insurance to cover your damages. If so, you may ask how is it possible to have a motorcycle accident settlement? Who pays for your injuries?

As part of overall personal injury law, most states require that auto insurance companies and motorcycle insurance companies provide both uninsured and underinsured insurance coverage with their regular insurance policies. This means that when you are in either of these situations, there is insurance, but it is insurance under your own policy. You will need to contact your own motorcycle liability insurance company.

Uninsured motorcycle accident claims where the other driver does not have insurance are handled differently than underinsured cases where the other driver has insurance, but not enough insurance. Laws vary from state to state. If you are in either of these two situations, consult with a lawyer to find out how they are handled in your state and to make sure that your insurance company pays you what it should pay.

This is basic general information only. If you have any questions whatsoever, talk with a lawyer licensed in your state.
