New Hampshire Court: Motorcyle hit-run victim covered by auto uninsured coverage

An auto policy’s uninsured motorist coverage is triggered for a motorcyclist killed by a hit-and-run driver after being thrown onto the roadway from his bike, which was not insured, according to the New Hampshire Supreme Court. The victim’s auto insurer, Amica Mutual Insurance, had argued it was not required to cover the biker’s death because he was riding his uninsured motorcycle, not his insured auto, when the accident began.
