What does motorcycle insurance cover?

Motorcycle insurance covers damage and injuries that you cause to others in crashes. If you buy full coverage, it also covers damage to your own bike.

Bodily injury liability

Bodily injury protection pays for the medical bills of other drivers and passengers if you cause an accident. This coverage is required in almost every state.

Property damage liability

Property damage liability covers the damage you cause to someone else's vehicle or property. Most states require you to have a minimum amount of this coverage to drive legally.

Collision coverage

Collision coverage pays for damage to your bike if you hit another vehicle or object, such as a tree or fence.

Comprehensive coverage

Comprehensive coverage pays to fix or replace your bike after vandalism, theft and or weather events.
