The police and EMS were there and everything, they filed an accident report stating that the driver was in the wrong. I'm not the type who wants to "milk the situation for all its worth" but I definitely want some compensation. I'm relatively okay, a few cuts, scrapes and bruises, but I will be going to the Dr. tomorrow. I just want to know what to expect...My mom thinks the dudes insurance is going to contact me and offer me a sum of money if I agree not to press charges; is this how things typically work? How much do you think they would offer? Any reliable info would be great to hear
Wow you guys are so helpful. I don't really get why you would assume my bike was undamaged...maybe if you graduated high school you would realize that basic principles of physics will tell you that a two ton suv hitting a 30 lb. bike is going to rip it into pieces, which it did. If you all think its immoral to want a little compensation beyond breaking even after what your paying out of your own pocket for something that wasn't even your fault, then well, I hope you all get hit by cars. Especially bungholio. Every time I ask a question on here everyone has to think they're better than me and say anything but an answer to my question. I'm sure you all flip out when someone cuts you off on the road. Imagine if they hit your car. Now imagine if they hit your body.

I regret even asking you pretentious idiots for help to begin with. Go do something more constructive with your time than criticizing the morals of someone who specifically doesn't want to ruin someones life.
