That sucks.  Here's to a speedy recovery 

Sorry to hear about it, hope you get better soon.

Wow, that sucks man, but luckily you were wearing good gear. Oxtars saved my left foot from more extensive damage.

If I have any advise to give you, it's get into physical therapy as soon as your doctor says you can. It will save you from pain and immobility later.

Here's to you recovering soon.

It's funny what people will say in an accident, I had someone back up and hit the SIDE of my work vehicle as I was driving by, and try and say it was my fault.

Good luck with the asshat in court, if it goes to that. Glad you're mostly ok, heal fast and be well.

Bad to worse.  I found out the guy may have no insurance.  Which would suck.  Health insurance is covering the costs of the bones now, hopefully my pocket won't get hit for any of those costs and I had comprehensive so the bike is covered, except for deductible.  Wow, that sucks.

On a lighter note the pins in my foot come out two weeks early.

Having not had to deal with this before, is it possible to get any money out of him at all?

My guess is... if he can't afford insurance, he doesn't have much to take.  Bike is covered and medical bills should be covered, I went ahead and got the best health coverage I could.  I don't think there'll be much out of pocket.  Hopefully I could at least get that out of him.  Safe Auto said it lapsed in 06, I would think the officer would have noticed that on his card and cited and cite the guy for it.  Maybe there is a different policy.  Who knows?

In my opinion, those cards are worth less than the paper they are printed on.  People forge them all the time.  The industry needs to come up with much better 'proof' than a piece of paper - a national database or a card like a mastercard.

Get well soon... so you can be back on your  [moto]

What kind of car was he driving?  If it was anything decent and he doesn't have insurance you should request the car.

Maybe his house too...   

To a full and speedy recovery. 

And a new investment property to recuperate in, courtesy of the no-insurance-having d-bag. 

Man!!  If I keep reading about all these nasty crashes I'm going to start ducking everytime I pass a car!     Glad you are at least semi-okay.

I'm from that "socialist" country north of the U.S. so I need someone to enlighten me. 

On our policies here we pay a few bucks extra for a (now-mandatory) endorsement called "uninsured automobile" coverage.  If some idiot without insurance nails you that clause in your policy automatically kicks in and takes care of you.  You guys don't have anything like that?
