Hi, this is a legal tip Tuesday from the Quatrini Law Group. My name is Joyce Novotny-Prettiman. I’m one of the attorneys here who does work for people who are hurt in auto accidents. And actually today we want to concentrate on motorcycle accidents. There’s some things that are a little bit different about your motorcycle insurance when you’re insuring it under Pennsylvania law. And it’s good to know those things ahead of time. One important difference between your motorcycle insurance and your auto insurance is that your motorcycle insurance does not require you to carry medical coverage. And one can imagine that when you get hurt on a motorcycle, it’s usually pretty substantial. So that’s a question you should ask. You can buy medical insurance to cover your medical bills, and you’ll have to ask that specific question, and you should do so. Thank you.
