XRay revealed a broken rib?...

Doood?  Seriously?  I think it's time to talk with Izaak or Chris.

XRay revealed a broken rib?...

And when did you notice a bit of pain while breathing?

Please get yourself a good and proper checkup!

[rgramjet]

Ahhhhh just put some Tussin on it.......

[Autohag]

Never noticed the rib; never felt any pain. Odd. And there aint much to do about it. Supposed to just chill for a while and no activity. Bah!

Now for more xrays... Actually sitting in the radiology dept as I write this.

Had a thorough exam earlier in the week, so healthy besides the shoulder and busted rib. Doc seems to think the pain I feel in my shoulder could really be the rib. So more xrays to be sure.

Later on today I'm gonna take pics of the bike and gear and post up.

I'm going to start repeating this ^ line.  I had lunch with Chris yesterday, and mentioned your off while we were eating.

[DRKWNG]

F!  It's a cold one out there this morning.

What are you going to do when you join the Marines??

Oh that's right, you are A.F.  Carry on.
   

[DRKWNG]

Whatever buddy.  Carry on carving your wood...

Dood B, as I said thursday, get in touch with Chris and or Izaak. I know that's not Statlers field (not sure about I) but they will have recommendations.  Though your injuries aren't so bad, so said the driver was douching up real fast and tippy toeing towards (or has) made fraudulent claims about damage to his car. Seems pretty clear he's going to be a pain in the ass and not a responsible adult

[DRKWNG]

Maybe this is naive, but given the fact that both of the responding LEOs (as well as the police report) stated that the car driver was completely at fault for failing to stop and yield right of way, how could the driver make claims against Brian for damage (fraudulent or otherwise) to his car?

[Geaux]

Is his insurance paying for damages to Brian and his bike?  Maybe he figures he can get a new bumper while he's at it?

[Slide Panda]

From what Brian told me on Thursday (pls correct if I get it wrong B) - the driver has claimed  to his insurance that Brian stuck and damaged his car. How could the driver do this - you hit it right on the head. It's my take that the driver is trying to lay a false claim either to try to dodge some blame (based on the LEOs fat chance for that, jackass) and/or get some previously existing damage fixed up on an insurers dime.

From the accounts I've heard they driver was trying to shift blame from minute one. Do you really think he might not be the type to lay up a bit of insurance fraud?

As I said to B on Thursday - I'd sure be curious to have a peek at the drivers cell/text records. See if he was on the celly, as it's now illegal to hand hold/text while driving in MD (*sigh* too bad we have to legislate common sense)

This was the first question to my insurance company. But...

Is his insurance paying for damages to Brian and his bike?  Maybe he figures he can get a new bumper while he's at it?

No, not yet. Inattentive driver is now claiming I struck his vehicle. Inattentive driver's insurance company is trying to make the case that I did not control my vehicle. I believe there's an investigation going on. Whatever. I've been with GEICO  since I was 16 years-old, and they know what I'm about...

This is correct, yuu. The investigating officer had the clearest interpretation of the situation based on the scene, and he made the call.

The only reason why, I believe, the car did not flee the scene is because (he knew) there was no way he would have gotten away without being identified. There were 2 riders ahead and 2 riders behind me. Any one of these folks could snap a pic of the license plate and driver/riders. So, instead, the driver is shifting fault.
