Who is at fault when one rider hits another on a Fort Worth group ride?
Each rider is responsible for riding safely in a group, including keeping a safe following distance. A rider who causes a crash within the group can be liable to the others, and that rider’s motorcycle liability coverage pays. A car driver who triggered the chain reaction can share fault. Witnesses from the group are often the best evidence.
Will my own motorcycle policy pay if the Fort Worth driver had no insurance?
It will if your policy includes uninsured motorist coverage. Texas insurers must offer it, and it stays on the policy unless you rejected it in writing. It pays for your injuries up to your limits when the at-fault driver has no coverage or not enough. Check your declarations page for UM and UIM coverage.
