Can Bicycle Riders Claim Insurance Coverage After An Accident?

Yes, they can, but what the insurance can cover may differ depending on what insurance they have. For example, a bicycle rider who doesn’t have bicycle insurance but has medical insurance can claim coverage for medical treatment. However, if another party was injured in the same accident and a personal injury claim was filed against the bicycle rider, then the payment for that claim will be done out-of-pocket. If the bicycle rider has bicycle insurance, then it may be covered depending on the insurance policy. Also, bicycle riders have the option to pursue a personal injury claim against another party if this party was liable for the riders’ injuries.
