Hopefully the motorcycle operator will be ok. But we all need to make sure we take steps to protect ourselves in case something like this happens to us or a loved one. If the police do not find the driver of the pickup truck, the motorcycle operator will be forced to pay for all their own medical bills, lost wages, and will suffer through all the pain, embarrassment and disfigurement without any compensation for the devastating injury.

We all have the ability to purchase insurance to protect ourselves in these situations. Part 3 of the Standard Massachusetts Automobile Insurance Policy is called Bodily Injury Caused by an Uninsured Auto. This insurance coverage is designed to protect people in these situations. It can be used if the offending vehicle is simply driving without insurance or in situations of a hit and run. You should consult with an insurance agent to determine the proper coverage, however, I always recommend purchasing as much as you can afford. It might be expensive now, but you'll be happy you have the protection if something catastrophic occurs.

Protection from an uninsured auto or a hit and run is also extremely important if you ride your bike or walk along the road. This can cover you as a pedestrian and cyclist.
