jetgirl Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I really hope you get proper compensation. Sometimes it doesn't work out and it's not right. Ticks me off. You'll get back to riding soon but it's a miserable time now. Yeah, don't use that helmet. My insurance is great help right now. they told me my gear will be all replaced. they still haven't looked at the bike. if they write it off i will take a little hit on that cause i don't think I had where you get what you paid for the bike but used ones are only a few hundred cheaper but i could be wrong. The big thing is my lost wage. I think i'm going to have to get a lawyer depending on what her insurance says when they call me next week.Good luck. My insurance was excellent about compensating me for the bike. I got more money than I thought it was worth. They gave me all the money they were obligated to--I spoke to a few lawyers about it. I got 200,000. Not a bad amount but I still can't work and my leg is screwed up for life. 200,000 is a joke for what that SOB did. I am so glad that your injuries weren't worse. Please let us know how things work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 As it was her fault, her liability insurance should cover all of your damaged stuff. As for you hiring a lawyer, well, you should talk to your insurance 1st and see if they will help going at her insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e30kawi Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Hopefully she had adequate insurance and you get something out of the deal. I'm still dealing with my accident that had cost me close to 20k out of pocket and won't get much more than that by the time it all gets settled. Kind of like what jetgirl said above. But I won't be getting anywhere near the money she did and my leg is permanently an inch short on that side, makes it very hard to do my job like that.

Premium Member fzar Posted July 2, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted July 2, 2017 Everything that has been said is good advice,especially about lawyering up, I don't know about Canadian law, but hell to it all, I'm sure a lawyer has a better idea to get you the best outcome possible. Sorry that this happened to you, and I hope you heal soon. Sign nothing and say nothing without a lawyer. take it easy and heal up soon, if anyone reading this is not wearing or don't have GEAR. ATGATT. For real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She even said if i get one the lawyer have them look over all my insurances stuff as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeps Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Never put any comments about your state as a result of the accident online. Could be used against you. Also Shoei has an accident replacement discount for cases like yours I do believe. So ask the dealer and Shoei before you buy. Sorry to hear about your accident. Get well soon.
