Yeah, I'm not worried about the bike, But I'll never play college football again. That's the only thing that is getting me down right now. But **** it, I've got things to do otherwise.

I want to get a newer F4i, or another Gix.
Sue for emotional damages and distress. Also, mention that you had potential scholarship earnings, and sue for compensation on tuition for that. Find a good lawyer and you could be set for a couple years.
Yeah, I'm on partial scholarship for football and the rest is covered by an engineering firm. Just today found out the dumbass had no insurance. Went and looked at the bike, and its pretty much a frame. I guess it somehow caught on fire afterwords? I was pretty well knocked out. The last thing I remember was thinking "Oh ****, he's not stopping" and then I woke up in the hospital post surgery.
I'll get enough out of him to cover my bike, and medical but I'll leave it at that. I have no need to get a big name lawyer for a guy that has no money to take.

I hope your insurance company is taking care of anything and everything legal. You should not have to even consider getting your own lawyer. If not you might want to get a different insurance company.

if the guy's got no insurance, he probably doesn't have any $ to go after, regardless of RB's insurance co. Insurance would only cover RB if he had full coverage, and even then it'll cover his bike and medical bills and that's bout it. You don't get pain n suffering through your own insurance company. To get compensation like that you'd have to go after it yourself, through a lawyer or by yourself. Since the guy has no insurance, it doesn't matter if you have the best insurance and lawyers in the world, I bet RB ain't gettin a dime from em.

Pretty much what I found out today. My insurance is going to cover my side of things, and its not going to make my rates any higher, thankfully. They are paying me out $5200 for my bike, I have no idea why, but its about double what I expected, and they are covering my medical. The guy obviously had no money to give, and im not going to ruin his life because of it. **** happens, and I'll get a new bike next season.
Anyways, I've been riding for a while, and I think I want to try a liter bike as my next. If I dont do that, I kind of want to get an F4i and something to learn to stunt on. NOT HIGHWAY KIND OF ****, but I really want to work on endo's, circle wheelies, that kind of stuff. I can do all the highway wheelies I want right now, but frankly they still scare the **** out of me.
So the guy was driving around wrecklessly with no insurance and you don't want to "ruin his life"? Are you kidding me he could have ruined your life permanently with death being probably one of the better outcomes compared to permanent peralysis. Sorry, but no sympathy from me for the guy. Ryan P, you say that if he was drunk then you'd justify taking the shirt off his back, but you don't consider wrecklessly running red light to be just as wrong? That's some messed of logic if you ask me.

You know running a red light does not automatically mean your are driving recklessly. People make mistakes. And the fact remains that he didnt ruin RBs life. It could have happened but it didnt.
Well I know that I'd be going after someone because of that. Running a red light is not a mistake. You should be paying attention and keeping your eyes on the ****ing road.
you guys gonna squeeze blood from a rock, too? the guy is too broke to afford insurance, do you really think you'll get much garnishing his wage from his minimum wage job?

Couldn't have said it better myself.....truth is if he can't afford insurance there's really nothing to even go after...and Nwanner and l337 I hope you never make a mistake driving. God forbid you rear end someone with the same philosophy you guys have.

Actually I've never rear-ended anyone, don't have any at-fault accidents for that matter either. I pay attention when I'm driving a 4000lb hunk of metal that could potential become a deadly weapon. Oh, and you're comparing apples to oranges also. Blatantly running a red light and stopping a two feet short and into someone bumper are in two totally different categories.
If the guy didn't have money, then he shouldn't have been driving. What if he would have turned RB into a paraplegic and he now needs millions of dollars in medical expenses? RBs insurance is only going to pay out so much. Then what? I'm glad not having insurance in my state is against the law.

It's not like he ran the light just to hit me. My insurance company is covering my stuff, and its not going to take anything out of my pocket. Im going to get a newer/better bike come springtime, and it didn't end my life. Im not going to take every penny this guy can give just because I can. I make decent money for a college freshman, and my parents do alright for themselves too. I don't need to screw some one's life over for a mistake he made.
Im not scared for life, physically or mentally, so whats the point? Just the fact that he COULD have killed me? Yeah, and I COULD have not gone riding that day too.

You don't get it do you? You may not be paying anything out of pocket for this, but the insurance rates for everyone has gone up becuase this guy decided to not have insurance.
