I can only assume the mirror made full contact (rather than being clipped by a small portion of it) and that you were launched as badly messed up as you are. I'm just really curious of the details, I live in the country and ride solo with those duallys on narrow highways constantly (skimmed by 5+ just today in 35ish miles). Screw my times, I'd rather stop in the dirt for a second if I hear/see one coming.

Heal well!
The OP can't (read shouldn't) answer these questions until legal issues are resolved.
