I had an accident in my car, elderly lady blowing a red light, we were real lucky. As far as settling a claim, in california, you have two years to settle. The paying insurance company only pays a complete and final settlement and you have no recourse to go back. Make sure you are healed.

As far a dr. bills My insurance medical coverage picked up the bills durning this time. I have heard that your car insurance medical coverage (if you have it) will do the same for you if you are on a bike. This is california, not sure about other states.

Good luck.
