BAM.....I got rearended!
So I'm on my way to work this morning at 7:30 and while stopped at a stop sign waiting for crossing traffic, bam I get rear ended. No damage to me other than a little stiffness starting to set in. The guy just got off mids and was taking his kids to school. Tired and not paying attention. Not sure what scared him more, hitting me or me jumping up from the ground with some colorful language and looking like I was ready rip his head off. Now for the bike damage: rear fended smashed, turn signals bent/broken/smashed, tail light smashed, plate mount bent, exhaust dented and scraped, right side hand control scraped, bars tweaked, right forward control scaped.
I was able to go home get some tools and remove the tail light housing so I could bend the fender out enough to ride it home.
I have to say I'm impressed with both Allstate(mine) and Progressive(his) insurance. The accident took place across the street from my agent so while I was waiting for my wife to pick me up I walked over and he called progressive for me and within an hour I had an adjustor assigned who called me and wanted to know where I was taking the bike so he could meet me.

Sorry to hear about this misfortune.
Just my .02, the damage to the bike and the potential for personal injury are two separate issues. Dont be too quick to settle on your personal injury or potential for. You maybe a little sore today but could get worse later. good luck. In our state PIP is ten grand, should at least get somethin for all the pain and suffering your going through, hire a personal injury attorney to help you out, you will be way ahead in the long run.
