Those that have been down and those that are going down is the old saying. That being the case, as bad as this was, it most obviously could have been a whole lot worse. Sorry to see the bike beat up and you as well. Glad you're ok and the bike is on the mend. You need to make a claim for whatever other loss you suffered as well against the young lady's insurance. You shouldn't get stuck with the $500 deductible. Did you lose any gear ( boots, pants, gloves, chaps, jacket etc.) I'm sure you've got your medical bills going to them. Did you miss any work. A whole lot of issues. My advice is to avail yourself of an attorney for at least the first consultation. 99% do the first one free. Lay it out to him/her and see what they say they think the total value of the claim is. Hope the leg mends quickly and your Blue Jester is ready and waiting when your leg is healed.
