Motorcycle Insurance: Common Misconceptions
Motorcyclists face unique challenges when it comes to insurance. The Nicotra Law Firm is here to help clear up common misconceptions:
- MYTH: Your car insurance covers motorcycle accidents under New York’s No-Fault laws.
- REALITY: No-fault insurance doesn’t apply to motorcyclists. You can sue for injuries without meeting the "serious injury" threshold car drivers face.
- MYTH: If you're partly at fault, you can't recover damages.
- REALITY: New York's shared fault system means you can still recover damages, even if partially at fault.
- MYTH: Liability insurance covers all injuries and damages.
- REALITY: Liability only covers others’ injuries. Protect yourself with additional coverage like collision and SUM insurance.
- MYTH: Minimum insurance is enough.
- REALITY: Minimum coverage won’t protect you adequately. Consider higher coverage tailored to your bike and riding habits.
