that is so sad man sorry to hear.
I was in an accident years ago it didnt hit me until a day later I got a lawyer and all went well. I could hardly walk for about a month drunk driver he was get pictures also. good luck

 

What no cell phone violation?
My concerns would be in order:
Your back
The backbone on the bike
Tranny

Now as far as other driver is concerned, I am not a huge "sue the bastards" but this is an exception!

Wait, 'failure to observe to avoid an accident'? Sounds like she didn't avoid any accident; getting rear ended is very much an accident. I'm not a sue happy person, but this lady needs to learn her lesson before she potentially hurts/kills another rider. Lawyer up, and make sure you're taken care of and she doesn't get off easy.

 

Pappy, you are probably not one of theses sue happy people, as most here aint, but in this instance, sue the hell out of her, go to emergency room and meet your doc and lawyer there. I have a nice 10inch scar from back surgery from an accident (military) 25 years before, you never know how much damage you have til one day you cant walk from the extreme pain. I encourage you to take this lady to court and sue the hell out of her, call the police and ask why she didn't get a cell phone ticket, or worse. These cell drivers are taking us out like we are the weekly trash, time to give it back to them. They need to learn its not okay to kill and maim us without paying a penalty. 6000 people die every year in the US from distracted driving (cell phone driving), this needs to stop. Do your part Pappy. Hope you get well and back up and running soon, get that bike checked real well too.

 

+1 on going to the Doctors and having a thorough check up. And if your thinking about sueing, then dont post any more info about the accident or your condition on this thread.

 

Get checked out, hope your ok, Cagers on cell phones are sickening. Only takes 1 screw up to mess up someones bike, property, and body.

 

Take her to the Fing cleaners. When insurance companies get fed up with all the money going out on these cell phone claims maybe the law will change to finally give us some protection.

 

Main thing is to get yourself checked out, the scooter comes second. Might be an urban myth, but I have heard that it doesn't take much to total a bike if the frame is the least bit damaged, even a bent mounting tab. Liability issues.

 

Thanks for the good words all.

Pappy

 

Good to hear you were able to walk away, man. A lesson from this: ALWAYS stay in 1st gear when stopped at a light and WATCH YOUR SIX! More than a few times I have shot forward in between cars to avoid being rear ended by some moron behind the wheel.
