Understanding who is liable for a motorcycle accident is important. Knowing who is at fault is critical. Do not simply take the insurance companies assessment of your claim without consulting with an attorney. In certain cases even when the other party accepts liability for your injuries, their insurance policy may be insufficient to cover your injuries. If this happens you need to file a underinsured motorcycle accident claim for your damages and seek coverage.
Explaining underinsured claims is best done in an example format. EXAMPLE: You are involved in a motorcycle accident. The person who hit you only has a $15,000 policy. Your medical bills are in excess of the $15,000 amount. As a result you file with your own insurance coverage to essentially cover the difference. For underinsured to apply you must have a policy in excess of the at fault driver. As you can see calculating your underinsured exposure and coverage can be tricky and requires the assistance of an attorney. If you have been injured it is possible to access your underinsured policy in order to cover the expenses for your injuries.
Getting your own insurance coverage to “kick in” a certain amount for coverage is not always a simple task. To do so requires a number of different factors or prerequisites to take place. Here is a simple list of just some of the prerequisites which need to take place:
Getting the necessary paperwork filed is important and should be done in a timely manner. If it is not done so then it can jeopardize the value of your claim and your own insurance company can deny the claim.
