Texas Motorcycle Insurance insurance pays for damages, injuries, and other losses that are detailed in your policy.
Depending on the type of coverage, Texas Motorcycle Insurance insurance can either pay for your damages or another driver?s damages, or a passangers damages.
The most common types of Texas Motorcycle Insurance insurance are:
LIABILITY pays for damage caused by you to another person or another person's vehicle or other property as a result of an Texas Motorcycle Insurancemobile accident. Types of liability coverage include:
Bodily Injury (BI) If you injure someone in an Texas Motorcycle Insurance accident for which you are legally to blame, this coverage will pay claims for injury or death against you and the cost of legal defense.
Property damage (PD) pays for damage that you cause to someone else's vehicle or property for which you are legally liable. This does not cover your motorcycle or property.
Medical payments pays for medical, hospital or funeral expenses for you and others injured or killed while riding in your motorcycle, regardless of fault. It also covers you and family members if struck by a car or motorcycle as a pedestrian or if riding in another car or motorcycle.
PHYSICAL DAMAGE pays for a loss resulting from damage to your vehicle or a vehicle operated by you. Physical damage also provides coverage if your vehicle is stolen. Types of physical damage coverage include:
Collision (BI) pays for damage to your motorcycle from an accident regardless of fault. It usually includes a deductible and the insurance company pays the rest. Selecting a larger deductible can lower your collision premium.
Other Than Collision (Comprehensive) pays for damage to your motorcycle caused by most anything other than a collision. Glass breakage, theft, fire, explosion, impact with an animal, vandalism and flood are some of these hazards. This coverage is also available with deductibles to lower your premium.
OTHER COVERAGE Other types of Texas Motorcycle Insurance coverage include:
Uninsured Motorists (UM) Unfortunately, not everyone purchases Texas Motorcycle Insurance insurance. If you or your passengers are injured by someone who does not carry Texas Motorcycle Insurance insurance, UM coverage will pay for injuries up to your policy limits. This includes medical expenses, loss of wages, and related expenses. UM coverage also applies if you are a victim of a hit-and-run driver.
Underinsured Motorists (UIM) Just as some drivers don't carry any Texas Motorcycle Insurance insurance, other's don't carry enough to pay for damages from their accidents. UIM coverage pays for death and injury expenses to you or occupants of your motorcycle when the other person's insurance is inadequate.
Personal Injury Protection (PIP)) Coverage pays for medical expenses and 80% of lost income, regardless of who is at fault in the accident. It also pays for assistance with personal services you are unable to perform because of an Texas Motorcycle Insurance accident. You, your family members, and your injured passengers are covered under PIP. Insurance companies must offer to sell you PIP coverage (and Uninsured Motorist Coverage) along with your liability coverage. If you decide not to purchase PIP, you must reject it in writing. PIP coverage is available at limits of $2500 and up.
