Brandon Parrish"The views expressed on this blog are my own and do not reflect the views of any of the companies that I represent." “I don’t want to raise a red flag with my insurance company by asking them if I am covered while riding or racing Motocross.” “I always tell the hospitals and doctors that I fell off a ladder.” These are two of the most common things I here from riders. Do you think it is smart to risk finding out after you get hurt that you are not covered, and now you owe the hospital for the entire bill because your policy excluded motocross? I didn’t think so. So don’t be that guy [or girl] and take the chance, get the right motocross insurance policy from the get go. You will be surprised to find out that it is not more expensive, you just have to find the right insurance company that doesn’t exclude your hobby, and we can do that for you! How do I know this? Because action sports insurance is my specialty; I have participated in action sports for the majority of my life and in 2003 I fell into the insurance business. As my passion for action sports took its course I developed this niche service. My main focus is providing insurance solutions for individuals and families by making 100% certain that they are not excluded from any insurance claims resulting from your hobby or occupation by having the correct insurance policy from the start. If you are riding or racing Motocross there are several things you should do today to protect yourself: First, you want to contact all of your insurance companies by calling the toll free number on the back of your insurance card. This number can also be found in your insurance policy certificate. When you speak with the insurance company, tell them your policy ID number and explain to them exactly what you plan to participate in, and then simply ask them if you will be covered if you got hurt. If they say you are covered, ask for a reference number; noting the representatives name, date, and time of the call. Put that note in a safe place! Should an unfortunate situation arise and there are any discrepancies in your claim, you will have a legal document stating you were covered while participating in your activity. Second, you should ask your health insurance provider how much they will cover and the details if you need an ambulance ride and or life flight helicopter ride. A lot of companies will only pay up to a certain amount; for example $1,000 after your deductible. With the average cost of a life flight being around $18,000 that can be a huge exposure to your financial well being and we offer a Life Flight/Ambulance/Repatriation plan to protect that risk as well. If you have any doubt at all about your current situation, you should start by getting some quotes here on RiderSurance.com and we will follow up with you to evaluate your specific situation.
