Motorcycle Insurance Tips for Louisiana Riders During the Busy Summer Season

Summer is a great time for hitting the open road; however, the warmer months also bring risks like increased traffic or sudden afternoon thunderstorms. At Fitzwilliam Insurance Services LLC, our team is here to help riders in and around Kenner, LA find motorcycle insurance that fits the season so you can focus on the journey ahead.

Review Your Liability Coverage

Riders in Louisiana are required to carry minimum liability insurance to cover bodily injury and property damage to others. While meeting the state minimum is a start, summer riding often involves group trips and higher traffic volumes, which can increase the risk of an accident. Our team often recommends evaluating higher limits to help cover your personal assets in the event of a significant collision.

Consider the Impact of Summer Weather and Theft

Summers can bring sudden, heavy downpours and high humidity, both of which can affect road conditions and motorcycle maintenance. Because more bikes are out and active during the summer, the risk of theft can also rise.

To help cover your investment, consider these options:

• Comprehensive coverage—May help cover noncollision events, such as theft, vandalism or damage from floods, hail or falling branches during a summer storm
• Collision coverage—May help pay for repairs to your own bike if you are involved in an accident, regardless of who is at fault
• Uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage (UM/UIM)—May help cover your losses if you are involved in an accident caused by an at-fault driver without adequate insurance
