Third-party bike insurance covers all financial losses suffered by a third-party or person following an accident caused by an insured two-wheeler. Here, the insurer covers all the expenses required to meet the resulting financial liabilities that occur due to them. In case of damage to a property, the insurer shall release ₹1 Lakh as compensation to the owner.

Also known as Liability Only Insurance, third-party two-wheeler insurance was made mandatory under Section 146 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. It is a basic risk coverage provided by the insurer and does not provide insurance protection to the bike or its owner.

It is a good idea to select an all-round bike insurance policy that provides coverage for third-party legal responsibility. This can also provide financial protection against losses brought on by natural or man-made events.

How Does a Third-Party Two Wheeler Insurance Work?

The parties that may be involved in a bike insurance contract are described as follows:

First party: It is the party that owns the bike and drives it

Second party: The second party is the insurance company

Third party: The third-party refers to any person or property not associated with the first or second parties

If a third party is injured in an accident that was caused by the insured bike, all associated medical costs and hospitalisation fees are covered by the third-party bike insurance. The stated insurance also covers disability claims resulting from third-party damage injuries and third-party death claims stemming from the accident.

If a third party files a lawsuit as a result of the damages the insured bike caused, a third-party two-wheeler insurance policy will also cover the expense of the accompanying legal liabilities.
