What if I was a passenger on a motorcycle when a collision occurred?

If you were a passenger on a motorcycle, there may be multiple defendants you can pursue a claim against.

The appropriate party to take action against is the person who caused the accident. This may be another motorist on the road who caused the collision, or it may be the driver of the motorcycle. Many people are reluctant to pursue a claim against the motorcyclist if he or she is a friend. However, remember that it is the insurance company paying for the damages and not your friend.

Failing to take action can leave you with significant medical bills and losses that are not compensated. Insurance policies exist for a reason. The insurer should pay when a passenger on a motorcycle is hurt.
