Title: Fed Ex truck 1, Dan 0 Post by: TresGatos on May 13, 2011, 03:48:10 PM At the end of round one, the tractor trailer left unscathed
as did the motard, but D lost one helmet and gained elbow stitches and abrasions. WEAR YOUR GEAR!!!!! I may not be posting this if I didn't wear mine. Dax is on the way to take me home from Pres.

Title: Re: Fed Ex truck 1, Dan 0 Post by: Pinocchio on May 13, 2011, 04:57:35 PM Jeez...I'm glad you are still able to type, Dan. What happened?
Title: Re: Fed Ex truck 1, Dan 0 Post by: CajunR on May 13, 2011, 05:09:29 PM CRAP! :o :o :o :o :o
Glad you are OK, man!!!! Title: Re: Fed Ex truck 1, Dan 0 Post by: muskrat on May 13, 2011, 05:27:07 PM he got clipped by the FedEx dickhead. The asshole didn't even stop. I hope the cop ran him down Dan. DO NOT settle with them until you are fully checked out, especially considering he didn't even stop. I would also call the customer line and tell them the time and location so they can run the routes/drivers down. Anything you need let me know. I'll be around next week if you want to go check out your bike and bring her home or to AMS.

Title: Re: Fed Ex truck 1, Dan 0 Post by: dallas2r on May 13, 2011, 06:46:57 PM Crap! Sorry to hear about this Dan. Please let me know if there's anything you need.
Title: Re: Fed Ex truck 1, Dan 0 Post by: TresGatos on May 13, 2011, 07:16:08 PM Thanks everyone!! At a T stop sign, the car in front of me
slowly reversed to to give the truck more room to turn right into our direction. I slapped his trunk and he stopped just short of hitting me, then BAM!!!! I'm on the ground and off rolls the Fed Ex truck. People pick ip the Hyper and get it off the street as I manage to waddle off too and get some gear off. I try to go look at the bike, but can't stay up so ambulance time it is. I'm stuck on the I phone, so maybe Dax will post a pic I sent him. Cracked helmet and one big dang elbow for me. :P Title: Re: Fed Ex truck 1, Dan 0 Post by: caffeinejunkee on May 13, 2011, 08:28:53 PM Hate to hear that this happened to you Dan...like everyone else said, I'm glad to see that you're able to post this!
Hollar if you need anything. Title: Re: Fed Ex truck 1, Dan 0 Post by: webspoke on May 13, 2011, 08:42:56 PM Wow, glad you are mostly ok. I can't believe he did not stop [thumbsdown]
Title: Re: Fed Ex truck 1, Dan 0 Post by: zach (Slag) on May 13, 2011, 08:50:37 PM Damn dude! Glad you are ok [thumbsup]
Title: Re: Fed Ex truck 1, Dan 0 Post by: Cher on May 13, 2011, 09:20:37 PM Cracked helmet?! :o Man, I'm glad you're OK! I've got nothing at all on my calendar this coming week - I've got a truck and trailer if need be. I hope you're back on your feet again soon. Title: Re: Fed Ex truck 1, Dan 0 Post by: RichD on May 13, 2011, 10:21:21 PM Damn Dan! That is Effed up! >:(
Title: Re: Fed Ex truck 1, Dan 0 Post by: TresGatos on May 13, 2011, 11:48:56 PM Damn dude! Glad you are ok [thumbsup] Thanks Zach. [thumbsup]Title: Re: Fed Ex truck 1, Dan 0 Post by: system error on May 14, 2011, 05:04:09 AM Holy crap Dan, I'm glad you are ok. Let me know if I can help with anything.
Title: Re: Fed Ex truck 1, Dan 0 Post by: calscrazy on May 14, 2011, 05:25:17 AM dan did you get any witness info? did the cop catch up to the truck? you need to see if they have your accident report posted. the only way you will get taken care of is if you have one of those two. otherwise as bad as this sounds it will be your word against the drivers. i know it sucks but it is the way the world works today. you definitely want to find that stuff out.
Title: Re: Fed Ex truck 1, Dan 0 Post by: Ronr on May 14, 2011, 07:37:46 AM Man that sucks. Glad it wasn't more serious. Hope you and the scoot are ok.
Title: Re: Fed Ex truck 1, Dan 0 Post by: TresGatos on May 14, 2011, 11:40:05 AM Thanks for the help Dax! And Jason gave me a ride
to get the Hyper from the wrecker and back from AMS [thumbsup] Sorry about bleeding in your cool Benz :P these two friends are hooking me up with an attorney too ;D It looks like I've got tire marks on my helmet. No wonder I could not stay standing. It's good to be well and have so many good friends thanks to everyone! Oh, Lisa I'm using those med supplies you brought me last year. [thumbsup] Title: Re: Fed Ex truck 1, Dan 0 Post by: Duc L'Smart on May 14, 2011, 02:51:31 PM I'm so glad you weren't hurt worse...
Speedy recovery!!! Title: Re: Fed Ex truck 1, Dan 0 Post by: Mhanis on May 14, 2011, 05:53:56 PM Damn glad you are still standing!

Title: Re: Fed Ex truck 1, Dan 0 Post by: bullethead on May 15, 2011, 01:30:43 AM Glad your OK. Sorry I missed this.
Title: Re: Fed Ex truck 1, Dan 0 Post by: TXGrillGuy on May 15, 2011, 05:54:46 AM Dan, glad you're alright Buddy. Call or text me if you should need anything.
Title: Re: Fed Ex truck 1, Dan 0 Post by: system error on May 15, 2011, 06:21:53 AM It looks like I've got tire marks on my helmet. No wonder I could not stay standing. It's good to be well and have so many good friends thanks to everyone! Best we can tell it looks like the truck ran over his arm too :o. There is a tire mark on his jacket at the left elbow which might explain why so much skin damage occurred while the jacket looks fine. Title: Re: Fed Ex truck 1, Dan 0 Post by: Cyclone on May 15, 2011, 06:48:12 PM Wow - sorry you got hurt Dan. Hope you can put the squeeze on this driver over this ! Let me know if you need anything.
Title: Re: Fed Ex truck 1, Dan 0 Post by: TresGatos on May 16, 2011, 05:56:02 AM I'm down and resting today. Thanks for the Help offers
Title: Re: Fed Ex truck 1, Dan 0 Post by: TresGatos on May 18, 2011, 06:35:38 PM Update: I've got a lawyer and I talked to the moto
cop today. No police report yet as the license plate did not process. I'm anxious to read the witness statements. Dax, CVS had the vitamin powder. Thanks [moto] I'll be seeing a doc tomorrow and will request a scan as you guys have suggested. I'll post up tomorrow. Title: Re: Fed Ex truck 1, Dan 0 Post by: rickmillertx on May 19, 2011, 02:07:01 PM Dan, I'm sorry to read about your accident. Take care.
Title: Re: Fed Ex truck 1, Dan 0 Post by: TresGatos on May 19, 2011, 03:45:13 PM Tanks for the concern [thumbsup]
MRI is tomorrow. Saw a physical therapy doc today. Title: Re: Fed Ex truck 1, Dan 0 Post by: system error on May 20, 2011, 04:33:38 AM Glad you are getting the medical care you need. Keep us posted. [thumbsup]
Title: Re: Fed Ex truck 1, Dan 0 Post by: TresGatos on May 25, 2011, 06:35:45 PM OK, I get the laptop up and running, so here are some pics.
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3359/5760519704_3c406cc15c_z.jpg) This was today, almost two weeks after I lost. (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3206/5760010841_c76dc8e351.jpg) This is the under side of the elbow the day after. Estimate to repair the Hyper minus labor (drum roll) ... $3K :o Title: Re: Fed Ex truck 1, Dan 0 Post by: webspoke on May 25, 2011, 08:56:17 PM Man that hurts to see.
Title: Re: Fed Ex truck 1, Dan 0 Post by: Cher on May 26, 2011, 05:23:56 AM jeez, Dan - that's terrible. I hope you recover soon :-\ Let us know if you need anything. Title: Re: Fed Ex truck 1, Dan 0 Post by: CajunR on May 26, 2011, 06:13:48 AM Estimate to repair the Hyper minus labor (drum roll) ... $3K :o DAMN. That SUCKS. [thumbsdown] Title: Re: Fed Ex truck 1, Dan 0 Post by: rickmillertx on May 26, 2011, 06:34:52 AM If I understand this right, you may have issues identifying the FedEx truck. If that is the case, FedEx can tell which truck was at your location for the time. They scan every item at delivery and it has location and time. Highly unlikely two trucks were in that area at the same time.
Title: Re: Fed Ex truck 1, Dan 0 Post by: Duc L'Smart on May 26, 2011, 06:53:44 AM OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope you're better [thumbsup] Title: Re: Fed Ex truck 1, Dan 0 Post by: TresGatos on May 26, 2011, 08:09:31 AM Thanks. I'm feeling stronger and getting exercise.
Time to prod the lawyers into action :P Title: Re: Fed Ex truck 1, Dan 0 Post by: Cher on June 08, 2011, 06:07:22 PM So, how you doin' Dan? Title: Re: Fed Ex truck 1, Dan 0 Post by: TresGatos on June 09, 2011, 11:06:57 AM Thanks for asking! The MRI shows my shoulder has a
fracture. Now I know why it hurts so much at work :P All three elbow bones are bruised so it's still stiff and swollen but does not hurt. Still got some scabs but the bleeding finally stopped [thumbsup] Time for new bed sheets ;D Title: Re: Fed Ex truck 1, Dan 0 Post by: system error on June 10, 2011, 03:21:21 AM So how is the legal side going? Any word from FedEx's insruance people?
Title: Re: Fed Ex truck 1, Dan 0 Post by: TresGatos on June 10, 2011, 03:27:50 PM I'm sitting back let my first lawyer not call me so now
I have my moms lawyer not call me to ok him to call the first one to see what's up. There seems to be some fierce thumb twiddling going on. [thumbsdown] I've been advised to be patient, but I can't spend much time at the docs office as I have to work ;D |
