Bicycles and Insurance<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

It\u2019s probably not news to anyone reading this article that when bicyclists and pedestrians with their own UIM coverage are injured by drivers with insufficient or no liability insurance, their UIM insurers “stand in the shoes of the tortfeasors” and are contractually obligated to pay damages as proven up to the policy limits. However, these usual rules become more complicated if an e-bike is involved in a crash or if a bicyclist crashes as a result of unsafe infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a cyclist causes an accident, the damage to their bike could be covered by their homeowners or renters insurance, depending on the policy, according to insurance company Progressive. That could even cover liability for damages to the other party, Washington Bike Law attorney Bob Anderton told McClatchy in an email. \u201cContrary to the popular belief that only drivers have liability insurance \u2026 there is often liability insurance via homeowner\u2019s or renter\u2019s insurance (for bicyclists),\u201d Anderton said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
