motorcycle crashes are typically
00:07
involve catastrophic injury and the
00:09
biggest problem we have is limited
00:11
insurance coverage so many times people
00:14
have decent insurance coverage on their
00:15
automobile
00:17
they then go and buy a motorcycle their
00:19
carrier doesn’t have
00:21
motorcycle coverage so they go and they
00:23
get minimal coverage
00:24
30 thousand dollars we just had that
00:26
recently in a case
00:28
with this young man 19 years of age got
00:31
a separate insurance policy
00:32
through a carrier for 30 000 in coverage
00:35
he’s lost limbs it’s a terrible accident
00:38
so we have to go find additional
00:40
coverage we were lucky in that case
00:42
it turned out that 19 year old was
00:44
living in his
00:45
permanently in his parents household
00:48
even though he was temporarily
00:49
staying with his grandmother taking care
00:51
of the grandmother so even though no one
00:54
knew it
00:54
because he had been permanently living
00:56
with the parents he was covered under
00:58
the parents policy and we were able to
01:00
find additional hundred thousand dollars
01:03
in coverage
01:04
for that individual so the biggest
01:06
problem is
01:07
finding the coverage and we tell all of
01:09
our clients if you ever
01:11
get on a motorcycle make sure you have
01:13
proper coverage before you pull out of
01:15
your driveway
