That's just P/S.

also got $2104 or thereabouts for bike and equipment lost. and $4200 to pay off my medical expenses.

I called and talked to a lawyer and from talking to them, either the lawyer wasn't interested in a few thousand dollars, or he couldn't do much better than what insurance was offering me. I'm sure I could have gotten more but I think what I got is fair. No sense in milking the system just to make it more expensive for me to carry car insurance (if everyone sues all the time the money has to come from somewhere)
