Guys, it doesn't matter if he was running a marathon after the dude ran him down:

THE DUDE RAN HIM DOWN. Illegal! Property was destroyed!

even if they do track down the car from the license plate number, you can bet the driver will deny he was driving the car when it hit you. if you got a look at his face through the windshield, make sure to write down what he looked like, lest you forget.

And that shouldn't effect compensation at all except to as how the motivation itself may cause damages.

If you think that somehow the extent of his injuries and incapacitation is not going to come up in any law suit involving this incident and compensatory damages you are clueless. When it does he will have to admit that he was hardly incapacitated at all. If he maintains council of a lawyer that would get him to make any statements that could be rebutted by his admissions here both he and his lawyer are peices of **** and deserve to be run down.

wtf man, who peed in your soup?

yo good to hear you're ok.. not to be a downer, but you might not get any revenge through the police. Mine was a hit and run, i got a plate, had a witness, and found the person's house*my block* but the cops said they couldnt do anything. Im down for a little U-lock redemption if you're game <3

hows the damage? did you get any broken bones?

and also how's the deucycle

That was right after it happened. More @ flickr.

I went for my first little ride around the block today on my spare wheel.. yay!

Helmet + new wheel are on the way.

Jesus christ, man. That's ****ing gnasty. Glad you're able to ride!

Are you able to talk about any legal action that may be going on?

Not quite.. I'll post up when I can though.

man that sucks!
looks like you'll heal up though...
where did this happen? (i missed the original post)

best of luck

Nasty road rash there (saw also the pics of flickr), but I hope your knees didn't sustain any long-term damage. We're all pulling here for you, man!
