Thanks for the thoughtful and concerned comments. I'm not looking for a windfall here. If I'm OK and my bike is OK, I'm not going to make a big deal about it. I think that I do need to file a report with DMV, however. A few resources I've found if any of you ever have accidents (and good to know in advance):

From the State Bar of CA: http://calbar.ca.gov/state/calbar/ca...=10581&id=2174
