Motorcyclists face higher risks than other motorists, and a motorcycle crash often leads to very serious or life-threatening injuries. The motorcycle itself can be heavily damaged, or totaled. Your motorcycle insurance provides you with protection from the high costs associated with injuries and property damage. Under NC law, all motorcycle and scooter riders must have liability insurance. For riders who own a regular passenger vehicle, your motorcycle can be added to your auto insurance policy.
Liability Coverage
The liability coverage pays for any bodily injury, as well as property damage. The state requires at least $30,000 per person, and $60,000 per accident for bodily injury. The policy will pay out on claims up to that limit in accidents in which it is determined you were at fault. In some cases, motorcyclists are injured by another driver – who is either underinsured or uninsured. It is vital that you are protected against this eventuality, as it is estimated that about 9.1% of drivers on the road do not have insurance in North Carolina, as reported by the Insurance Information Institute – about one out of every 11 drivers. If you are hit by one of these uninsured drivers, UIM insurance can be a lifesaver.
