That's what I heard, too - it's 2 years in Virginia. I want to make absolutely sure that there's nothing that happens further on down the road that affects my long-term ability to get around. Even if the property damage part drags out, I've already put aside enough to replace the bike if I have to do it out of pocket first. My likely path is to get through PT, assemble all my docs then talk with a couple PI attorneys to see if it makes sense to move forward, and deal with the property loss then, unless his insurance company wants to get the PD part out of the way sooner. I still have to get medical clearance to get back on the bike anyway. I have med pay coverage through my auto insurance carrier, so I shouldn't be too much out of pocket during this period.

In any case, I'm keeping thorough documentation of everything - I'm going to get pictures of the street view leading up to the crosswalk this weekend, which should offer plenty of opportunities to get pictures of both cars and bikes crossing (hopefully) safely. The street has big hi-vis ped and bike crossing signs at every crosswalk on the street, so this guy just ignored the signs and stopped traffic. The only question is what constitutes a 'fair' P&S amount, which I won't know for at least a few months, if not going the whole 2 years.
