PASSENGER INJURED IN MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT- COMPENSATION
Motorcycles are fun and a great way to get around. Unfortunately, they can also result in serious injuries if the biker is not careful or, more frequently, when another car on the road fails to see the bike.
Our Minnesota personal injury lawyers represent many motorcycle passengers injured in an accident because of an inattentive car, or carelessness by the bike driver.
INSURANCE FOR PASSENGER INJURED ON MOTORCYCLE IN MINNESOTA
Interestingly, a motorcycle is not considered a ‘motor vehicle’ under Minnesota’s no-fault laws. Unfortunately, this means the driver of the motorcycle often has limited medical benefits and wage loss benefits from their own motorcycle insurance after an accident. There are also limitations on what compensation the motorcycle passenger will get after an accident in MN. However, passengers are treated a bit better than the driver.
