Exclusions
Our Plan Excludes Coverage for Motor Vehicle Accidents!
In regards to motorcycle accidents, if the accident involves a motor vehicle coverage is excluded. If you are involved in a motorcycle accident which does not involve a motor vehicle (for example, a motorcycle hits a tree) then coverage would be provided by the Fund.
Contact your auto insurance agent immediately to make sure you are properly covered for such illnesses or injuries under your no-fault policy.
