Want to protect yourself and your bike? Have you considered your insurance options?

There are a few common types of motorcycle insurance:
- Compulsory Third Party (CTP) Insurance
- “Limited” Property Insurance (e.g. third party, fire and theft, enthusiast, dirt bike)
- Comprehensive Property Insurance

Each type of insurance has its place. While one of these is mandatory, other types are not. Some insurance covers you, some insurance covers others.

We run through your options, what you need to know, and answer some common questions.

Our thoughts go out to the rider involved in this tragic crash, and we wish him well as he undergoes medical care.

This incredible footage shows bystanders jumping into action after the crash to lift a car off the rider. Well done to those involved - quick steps like that can be lifesaving.

Most of you already know: Securing the scene is always the first step. If you don't know what to do after a crash, we'll put our Accident Response Plan in the comments so you can always be prepared.

As the CTP scheme in Queensland becomes easier to navigate (at least in theory), a greater proportion of claimants are choosing to represent themselves when lodging claims.

We certainly welcome steps to improve information and access for people making claims, and better protection of their interests.

However, the data shows that claimants who engage a lawyer tend to receive different outcomes than those going it alone. A significant gap still remains.

So...what is the scheme doing about it?

- Total and permanent disability claim, where injuries are so serious that a return to work may no longer be possible

Our latest article explains how to figure out your rights and what steps to take first.
