Insurance on track bikes...

270 Views 5 Replies 6 Participants Last post by  Lunchbox
...so I've decided to stick to the track and turn my plates in on the vespa. I figured I might as well drop the insurance as well seeming how it probably won't cover squat when I wad it on the track...

My question is...what about insurance from a personal liability standpoint? i.e. What if someone decides to sue you for an "incident" on the track...

Truthfully though, we live in a world of lawsuits, so if you are that concerned about it, talk to a lawyer who specializes in personal liability. I think the risks of that happening are very very low.
While racing is a "no fault" activity their is always the chance someone will test it in court. Liability insurance can be gotten through K&K insurance. You can cover yourself, as well some sponsors require/request it to cover them. You can talk with your favorite insurance agent and ask about a blanket or umbrella liability policy, should cover you against any liability up to the amount you insure yourself for.

Riders on the track are participating in an arena where its considered an "assumption of risk" ie: theres a likelyhood of wrecks and injury regardless of who causes it so anyone trying to file a claim against you or sue you would have little success (at least in NC where I handle claims). They can always TRY though but success would be limited. Heck even for street riders doing those "typical" (ya know what I mean) group rides and lets say one rider goes down and the ones behind wreck also a good capable adjuster could possibly find enough "assumption of risk" to deny liability in this scenario also. In NC if an involved party is just 1% part of the fault the liability claim can be denied.
I was an injury adjuster in Charlotte for a few years. Fireblader is right on the money. You would be suprised what liability and negligence for you, or against you when used in the right context.
