Premium Member crazycracka501 Posted May 9, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted May 9, 2015 It's gonna more than likely be a long drawn out process between medical and legal. I've worked in the personal injury & workers comp industry. Good job getting the attorney, just bide your time, heal up, keep going to doctor for as long as it takes and get all the physical therapy you can, try to stay away from the pills as much as humanly possible as that is usually what screws people up worse than the injury or wreck itself (very addictive). Praying for you. Make it stop!....Now make it go faster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemer Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I'm just glad you're alive but sorry you and bike got hurt. I hope you aren't feeling too much pain. Insurance will get you another bike so don't worry about that, worry about your health and getting better. I do hope your bike tore the hell out of her car and I hope she chit her favorite panties. I had a guy pull out in front of me doing about that same speed and I was fortunate enough to have dove over the car into a tuck & roll and cam out unscathed. Bikie ... totaled. Forks bent back into the engine, was a write off. Get well soon! Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator Guru Posted May 10, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted May 10, 2015 To give you an idea what forces are involved in a 53 mph crash (85 km/h) (the cars are from the '90) [video src=https://youtu.be/Ol9CFqNTClg] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mulligantd Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 wow, so happy that you survived. 53 MPH, alot of people have actually died in that scenario. Was the lady charged with inattentive driving? Were you wearing a camera? Congrats on surviving I'm really happy that you are still here. She wasn't charged to my knowledge but I am gonna pursue this to get her for anything she can't be able to do this to someone else.. When I arrived at trauma the docs were saying most people don't live through collisions at more than 30mph.. Unfortunately I wasn't wearing a camera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruizin Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 The cop didn't charge her? She pulled out in front of you and wasn't charged? I would personally go down to the Police station and ask to talk to the Chief and whoever else you can and get her charged.

Premium Member rowdy Posted May 11, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted May 11, 2015 I agree with Cruizin, press the issue on citation. It might save you a lot of money in litigation (and therefore, your lawyers may not help you on that front). Why can't left turners see us?

Global Moderator mjh937 Posted May 11, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted May 11, 2015 I have had this sort of thing happen before in parking lot fender benders. The insurance company says blame is 50/50 because nobody got a ticket. Hopefully she was charged and you just do not know as I doubt you were in a state to care about such things at the time. Fortunately you are still around to have to worry about this. Take care and get well soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e30kawi Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 About how fast was she going when you hit her. The video is a little misleading because those cars are hitting a stationary object that did not give. If she was going 40MPH in the same direction as you the impact would be considerably less. But I'm glad you're still alive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm glad you're still alive!I was thinking the classic head-on left-turn... but either way, when you broad-side a vehicle its almost like hitting a immobile object.

kamalv Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 You are alive and well( relatively). Hopefully you will make a good recovery While you should be compensated properly and the lady should pay, don't let it consume you, just saying. Focus on getting well.
