How Insurance Coverage Gaps for Bike Riders in Manchester, NH

New Hampshire does not require every driver to carry liability insurance, so a person struck by a car cannot always count on the other driver’s policy. The state does have financial responsibility rules that can apply after a serious traffic accident, but they do not guarantee that every driver has coverage. That gap makes the injured person’s own insurance an important part of the picture.

Two coverages deserve a close look. Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage on a person’s own policy may apply when the at-fault driver has no insurance or too little. 

Additionally, medical payments coverage, where a policy includes it, can help with early bills regardless of who was at fault. Policy language and limits vary, so what is actually available depends on the specific policy.

Residents of Manchester and across Hillsborough County share busy corridors, so claims can involve several policies, from a household policy to a driver’s policy. To make the process easier, it is advisable to keep medical bills, policy documents, and written insurer correspondence in one place. 

Then, a personal injury lawyer in Manchester can review which policies may apply, explain how New Hampshire’s three-year filing deadline fits into the timeline, and handle insurer communications while a person focuses on recovery.
