Dear OP: how fast do you think you were going at the time of impact? I am curious how fast you need to be going for a bike to be crumpled up like that. Hope you feel better soon!

You don't have to be going fast when the front wheel of a Lexus RX300 lands on top of your bike's front wheel (I was traveling under the speed limit of 35mph 20-25mph before hitting the brakes then the car)

Due to some kind of snafu the PIP is being held up, and my ortho doc won't schedule an appointment unless their certain that they are going to be paid. I've not had medical attention since the crash (outside of the school providing some bandages and re-wrapping the splint. Part of the problem is that they are calling and leaving messages at my home, instead of using my cell... And yes, I'm now talking to my attorney.


Hope you heal up soon... I'm glad you are OK....
Thanks. :)

$1700!? You shouldn't settle for less that ten times that. Get a good lawyer!

That's not the settlement, that's the cost of replacing the bike and all the damaged components. I HAVE a GREAT lawyer... Ray Thomas. He's a personal friend of mine.
