To legally operate a motorcycle in West Virginia, you’re required to carry motorcycle insurance, and you’ll need to show proof of insurance when registering your motorcycle. West Virginia motorcycle insurance requirements include bodily injury liability and property damage liability.
Here are the minimum motorcycle insurance coverage limits to legally ride in West Virginia:
Keep in mind, these are just the minimum required limits. If you’re involved in an accident in which the losses exceed your limits, you’ll likely be responsible for paying the difference out of pocket. For additional protection, you can select higher limits when you set up your policy.
Absolutely. Beyond the minimum liability insurance coverages above, we offer several additional coverages in West Virginia, including:
If your bike needs repairs after damage caused by something other than a collision, comprehensive motorcycle insurance can help you with the costs. This coverage can apply to theft, vandalism, and weather events like wind and hail storms.
Collision coverage helps pay for repairs if you hit a stationary object, or even if your motorcycle just tips over and is damaged.
If you or your passenger is injured in an accident, this coverage can help pay for medical expenses you and your passenger face.
