I'm sorry for your pain and suffering and losses. I hope you get back to normal soon.

Sadly, I've been on both sides of this type of accident. I was a first year driver in high school and two or three out of four lanes were stopped at a green light. A young boy on a bicycle got waved through and I was cruising along in the left lane thinking, "Why are these people stopped in the middle of the street? I don't see anything." Then I saw him emerge from in front of the car in the lane next to me. He was a young boy on a bmx bike completely shielded by the car next to me. I locked up the wheels and just tapped him with my front bumper. I felt absolutely horrible, especially since the boy was so young. He wasn't visibly injured, but I'll never forget this 10 or 11 year-old boy cussing me out after I hit him. It's hard to forgive yourself after something like that. Wave throughs are definitely dangerous. I hadn't thought about this in a long time and it's a very good reminder against them.

In 2004, I got broadsided by an F-250 turning left while I was going through a green light commuting to work one morning. I don't remember anything after the initial impact. I came to on the ground about 30+ feet from where the impact occurred. A witness said I rolled over the windshield. I suffered a completely detached collar bone on the should side and torn muscles and bruises. I was in a lot of pain for a long time and was in a compression sling for seven weeks, so I'm really glad that you aren't more seriously injured.

Good luck with your case and I hope this guy learns his lesson, too.
