Thanks -- in this particular case, I'm pretty confident this hurdle could be cleared.
Just to make sure I'm understanding correctly, this means it would be necessary to initiate a civil suit against the other party? What I'm a little unclear on is why the cyclist's health insurance would be willing to take such a huge hit without trying to recover some of the losses.
