It is common knowledge that in order to drive a vehicle in New Jersey, you must carry insurance coverage. This is equally true with motorcycles. In fact, motorcyclists should focus even more attention on the amount of their insurance coverage than other drivers because motorcycle riders are, by far, the most vulnerable motorists on the road.
Uninsured/Underinsured coverage is required by state law for your benefit. These coverages protect you against losses caused by uninsured, underinsured and unknown drivers. Unknown drivers are also referred to as “hit and run” drivers. Team Law Motorcycle Accident Attorney Andrew A. Prince has been protecting the rights of motorcyclists for over 25 years. He is a major supporter of bikers’ rights, sits on the Board of Directors of Rider Education of the State of New Jersey, is a contributor to the American Motorcycle Association. Contact Andrew Prince by phone, email (aprince@teamlaw.com) or fax (732) 388-8711. He understands the constantly evolving motorcycle laws, and he is extremely knowledgeable in the area of motorcycle insurance. Let Mr. Prince help you determine if your current motorcycle insurance coverage meets your needs. He will review your policy for free.
When you purchase motorcycle insurance, you get what you pay for. In the State of New Jersey, the minimum required liability insurance coverage is $15,000. If you purchase only this minimum coverage, you are putting yourself and your family at risk. To better illustrate why this is a bad decision, consider the following scenario. If both you and the other driver involved in the accident have purchased minimum coverage on your vehicles ($15,000), and you are badly injured, the amount of compensation you receive will not exceed the total of the two policies. So, even if your medical bills are $50,000 or more, there is only an available $30,000 between the two policies. However, if you had purchased the maximum protection of $500,000, you would be provided with underinsurance protection. If the other driver only has the minimum $15,000 of protection, the underinsurance coverage will provide up to $485,000 more for your injuries or damages. That’s a life changing difference, and the additional coverage is significantly less expensive than you might imagine.
Purchasing the best insurance policy for your specific needs isn’t just about the minimum and maximum coverage amounts. There are certain coverage options that are required in New Jersey, and others that are simply advisable. For example, you are required by law to carry Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage. The minimum coverage amounts are below:
