i agree, have the cabbie replace the broken parts or buy you another bike. he could have just left the scene and you wouldnt get nothing. this is what i would have done (if i wasnt seriously injured) i would have got the police report, got the cabbies info, then i would have tried to reason with the cabbie, (like have him buy me a slightly nicer bike) and settle it outside of the insurance, i would be much faster for me to get back riding that way and i dont run the risk of ruining someone elses life because of an accident. if the cabbie does not want to work a deal with me then i would go strait to the insurance co. i hate how people are so quick to sue thinking they can get rich of something minor, it really messes thing up for alot of people.
