Motorcycle Accidents Are Extremely Dangerous and Not Covered Under Minnesota’s No-Fault Laws
Per Minnesota Statutes Chapter 65B, Minnesota requires drivers of motor vehicles to carry no-fault insurance coverage that provides medical and wage-loss benefits after an accident regardless of fault. However, these laws do not include motorcycles. While you can purchase a no-fault policy to cover yourself up to the policy limits in an accident, you can also hold the motorist who caused you to suffer injuries in an accident responsible without having to meet any type of threshold.
Motorcyclists are in much more danger than the occupants of other types of vehicles during an accident. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motorcyclists are as many as 27 times more likely to pass away from injuries than the occupants of cars.

Recovering Compensation for Your Motorcycle Accident Losses
Ben Crump Law, PLLC can help you build a case for an insurance claim or court award if there is evidence to prove negligence and liability on the part of the defendant. We will also need to document your losses associated with your accident case.
This can be an integral part of proving your case because it helps us calculate what your recoverable awards could be. Without knowing the value of your case, we cannot insist on a fair settlement from the other driver’s insurance company or take them to court and present evidence to secure a just award.
The types of losses and expenses we can document and use in this calculation of value include:
- Medical care expenses related to your injuries, including rehabilitation, home health care, and long-term care
- Lost income and benefits
- Diminished earning capacity
- Property damage, including to your motorcycle
- Other accident-related losses
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Wrongful death
