Does Your Motorcycle Insurance Cover Joyriding?
A Houston motorcycle owner woke up this morning to a legal and financial reality that he never considered when it was just a highly unlikely probability. As he relaxed at home the night before, his life was changing on Houston’s North Freeway. So were the lives of three others.
What was the motorcycle owner’s fateful decision? It was a simple enough act: he let his friend borrow his motorcycle. Unfortunately for everyone involved, however, the friend had very little motorcycle experience.
Zooming down the center lane of the North Freeway, the rider lost control of the bike’s speed and, as a result, slammed into the back of another vehicle, breaking out the car’s back window and spraying glass on two children sitting in the back of the car. Although scary for the kids, the accident proved even worse for the rider. Not wearing a helmet, the novice joyrider was thrown from the motorcycle, ultimately landing at a hospital in critical condition.
