I had a crash...a big one!

[trevor]

Well that is excellent news, no?

Very...after the stuff I've been through, this should be a piece of cake...I just have to remind myself to take it easy...but my wife just gave me the "what for" this morning...lol

The only way to get "...at least a few million" is if the person who caused the injury was rich, or if they had a really good insurance policy. Most people take the state required minimum policy, which ain't $hit. And you can't sue someone and take their home away, there are laws against that.

When the left turner got me in 2006 I got all of $5000 buck. Just enough to cover my out of pocket costs. Fast forward to today and my RH knee is a mess and I can't even walk for fitness anymore. It's frustrating.

When I was 18 I ran a stop sign and was sued for $1.3 mil. No injuries on scene, but when she got home, her daddy cried 'whiplash!' (He wasn't even in the car.) $1 mil for the driver, $300k for "loss of the services of a daughter." They settled for $13k; my lawyer said if she was on their side, she would have got them a lot more.

Home yet, Trevor?

Hey buddy I’m home... day surgery... sitting in my garage enjoying myself 🙂
oh boy those numbers sound nice but I won’t see that... it should be enough to make some good changes for my family

I can't think of a more mentally therapeutic place than amongst the 'girls'.

I noticed you weren't on this past week or so, just assumed you'd been out and about.
I'm assuming you were ATGATTed up, so the injuries would have likely been much worse otherwise.
Was just thinking the other day, it's a pita to get all geared up just to go down the shops and nearly didn't bother. Only goes to show, the local roads are the more dangerous for a couple of factors - frequency and familiarity.
I've had a few close encounters with texting / drinking fools around here, but so far have escaped collision, and that's mainly due to half-expecting asshats around every corner.
You'll find the major injuries will heal, but your broken finger - pay attention to how that sets; small ones like that get overlooked and it might set crooked.
Heal soon, buddy.

Lol...well you are right about the finger! Crooked and I'm going in for a 3rd surgery on Jan 17th.

Update....we settled with ICBC a couple of weeks ago....would have liked more money (who wouldn't lol) but I'm happy that I will continue to have a good life..it could have been worse.
I have worked my azz off to get better, We had to give a finial tally to insurance for health care appointments....ICBC has been great to deal with....not a single cent out of my pocket..in fact I even got paid milage to and from my appointments....to this day in 2 years 4 months I have gone to 562 appointments....physio I still do,
I get paid out but I continue to get all my healthcare paid for for life...as long as my doctor says it's related to my accident.
I feel very blessed.

Oh question...I have video of the crash....now that the case is over I can share it....anyone interested? Cheers

Uh, yeah.........

[Rich82GS750TZ]

I do, but I don’t- want to see the video. Does that make sense?

[Baatfam]

Perfect sense..........

[Brendan W]

Perfect sense..........

Most rides, today included, I see a trailer for that movie...

[bwringer]

Absolutely not, nope, no way. I have too many high-def crunch-o-vision crash movies in my head already.

Ya. What he said.

[trevor]

I'm just waiting to get the original video back from my lawyer and I will....

[Eli69]

Well I'm a bit curious I suppose. If we can learn something it would be worth it.

YouTube and monetize. How's the bike doing.
the squeamish on here are surprising. Isle of Mann coverage must terrify them.
