Insurance Coverage for Walkers and Bicyclists Bicycle Coalition of Maine - Wednesday Webinars

Whether you ride your bike thousands of miles every year for fun, are an active commuter, or a regular walker from your car to the grocery store or mailbox, this insurance-focused webinar is for you. Post-crash expenses are a serious issue and the insurance we purchase is often inadequate due to our misunderstanding of finer details. We'll talk about those details and how we can make insurance work better – in cases of property loss, injury, or death.

Topics


What types of insurances apply when I crash or fall due to a pothole, a distracted driver, or a commercial operator?
What happens if a driver hits me and doesn’t have any or enough insurance to cover my losses?
Why might my partner’s or parents’ automobile policy cover me while I am biking or walking?
What insurance covers me if my bike, helmet, or other bike accessories are stolen or damaged?
What if I hit someone with my bike or e-bike?
What if my e-bike causes a fire at a rental property?
What are my insurance options if I am car free?
