Topic: Motorist


  
  Driving - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Motorists are almost universally required to take lessons with an approved instructor and pass a driving test before being granted a license.
For example, in Australia, novice drivers are required to carry "P" ("provisional") plates, and are subject to lower speed limits, alcohol limits, and other restrictions for their first two years of driving.
The minimum age required to be a motorist varies depending on the country.

For example, when the uninsured motorist is a hit-and-run driver and there is hit-and-run coverage, it may be necessary to instruct the jury that to hold the insurer liable they must find actual physical contact between the hit-and-run driver's vehicle and the vehicle in which the plaintiff was riding (or the person of the plaintiff).
This instruction is intended to clarify for the jury the basic framework in uninsured motorist cases by identifying the elements of (1) damages, (2) fault of the uninsured motorist, (3) the existence of a policy containing uninsured motorist coverage, and (4) the fact that the motorist and vehicle were uninsured.
For purposes of an uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage provision defining the insured as a person "occupying" the vehicle, a pedestrian struck by the vehicle was not, by virtue of that brief contact with the vehicle, "occupying" it.

This instruction is intended to clarify for the jury the basic framework in underinsured motorist cases by identifying the elements of (1) damages, (2) fault on the part the underinsured motorist, (3) the existence of a policy containing underinsured motorist coverage, and (4) the fact that the motorist was underinsured.
Thus, the obligation to pay underinsured motorist benefits does not arise until it is established that the tortfeasor was indeed underinsured, a determination which "necessarily entails knowing the extent of the insured's damages and the liability benefits that have been paid by the tortfeasor's carrier." Hartford Ins.
Stacking of underinsured motorist coverage is not prohibited by the statute but may be precluded by an applicable anti-stacking clause in the policy, and the court has upheld such exclusions.

 Hinshaw & Culbertson | Resource Center | Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Update
By requiring uninsured motorist coverage, the legislature intended is to protect insureds who are injured as a result of the tortious act of a motorist operating an uninsured motor vehicle.
Where coverage under an employer's uninsured motorist policy derived solely from an employee's status as an occupant, the employee and his wife were not entitled to stack uninsured motorist coverage on each vehicle in employer's fleet.
Notice requirements of uninsured motorist policies are not void as against public policy and insureds will not be excused from compliance absent a showing as to why they should be excused or that they had substantially complied and insurer is not prejudiced by the delay.

 National Bicycle Safety Conference, Motorist criticism
However, his recommendation is exactly the opposite, in that he wants to teach motorists that cyclists are incapable of operating by the rules of the road for drivers of vehicles.
However, his recommendation states that motorists shall be held responsible in liability for car-bike collisions, because the bicyclist is legally presumed to be allowed to operate incompetently.
The immediate demand of motorists faced with such liabilities is that bicyclists be prohibited from using the roads and causing motorists to be held liable for the bicyclists' incompetent and unlawful operating actions.

It's true that if you are in an accident that's the uninsured motorist's fault, your health insurance coverage will generally pay for your health care and medical bills related to a car accident — which can easily total tens of thousands of dollars if you have a hospital stay.
