What Every Rider Needs to Know About Motorcycle Insurance

Riding a motorcycle offers a sense of freedom and adventure, but it also comes with important responsibilities, especially when it comes to insurance. At T1 Insurance LLP, we believe every rider should understand the basics of motorcycle insurance to properly cover themselves, their bikes and others on the road.

Whether you’re a new rider or a seasoned enthusiast, knowing your coverage options can help you ride with financial confidence.

Understanding Required Motorcycle Insurance

State law requires all motorcycle owners to carry a minimum amount of liability insurance. This coverage helps pay for injuries or property damage you may cause to others in an accident. The state’s minimum requirements typically include:

• Bodily injury liability. Covers medical expenses for others if you’re at fault.
• Property damage liability. Pays for damage to someone else’s property.

Riding without the required insurance can result in fines, license suspension and even impoundment of your motorcycle. Our team can help you understand these requirements.

Optional Coverages Available

While liability insurance is mandatory, many riders choose to add extra coverage options, such as:

• Collision coverage. Helps pay for repairs to your motorcycle after an accident, regardless of fault.
• Comprehensive coverage. Covers non-collision incidents like theft, vandalism or weather damage.
• Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. Covers you if you’re hit by a driver with little or no insurance.

We can walk you through these options and help you decide which add-ons fit your needs and budget.
