General Motorcycle Insurance and ATV/Off-Road Vehicle Insurance Coverage Options for West Virginia
Rider insures a wide range of motorcycles and ATV/Off-Road vehicles with insurance coverage options to satisfy the needs of our customers in West Virginia. All of our insurance policies insure individuals for recreational use only.
All of our insurance policies include the following:
Uninsured Motorist Coverage/Underinsured Motorist Coverage
All policies, excluding moped policies, include uninsured motorist coverage. The limits are set at the liability limits that you choose for your policy. This coverage allows you to obtain payment for damages to your vehicle or injuries caused by an uninsured motorist who is at fault for an accident. There is a separate coverage called underinsured motorist coverage. West Virginia does not require you to have this. We include it in our quotes unless you tell us not to do so. Underinsured motorist coverage allows you to obtain payment from us if the person who caused the accident does not have enough insurance to cover your damages.
Guest Passenger Liability
All policies include guest passenger liability insurance at no additional cost. The limits of coverage for your passenger are the same as your bodily injury liability limits.
Medical Payment Coverage
Your policy of insurance provides Medical Payment Coverage according to the laws of West Virginia. Medical Payment Coverages apply only to pedestrians when struck by your motorcycle. Medical Payment Coverages pay the cost of treatment up to $5,000 for the pedestrian from hospitals, doctors, and other medical providers. Medical Payment Coverage is not provided for vehicle operator or passenger.
LIABILITY COVERAGE
The State of West Virginia requires that all motorcycle operators carry minimum liability coverage. The State of West Virginia minimum requirements are $20,000 bodily injury, $40,000 each accident, and $10,000 property damage. A standard liability policy covers bodily injury and property damage to the other party in the event of an accident deemed your fault. Rider offers a range of liability options higher than the standard liability limits.
