Getting run over.

I'll buy you a beer. We'll call it even.

 

Thanks Obama.

 

There is no way to find the person. It was a random looking green sedan. That is all I saw. It was either a Honda or a Toyota. Luckily the P.I.P on my car insurance covers hit and runs. I get 25000 in bills with no deductible .

 

Sorry for your pain, but glad you survived relatively uninjured. Also glad to hear your insurance will help to cover the bills. If I see any green Toyota or Honda sedans with body damage I'll let you know.

 

I'll be fine. I am a lucky son of a bitch. It honestly looked like my car. ..haha. But, my car is broken down currently. I have a 98 Civic. It looked just like it.

 

this. i got hit at work on a golf cart by a fucking retard texting and not paying attention. i needed physical therapy for my back, luckily i recovered, and my lawyer got me a pretty pay check.

at first i felt like a scumbag getting a lawyer, but you have to remember this is america and this is why insurance companies exist. because we are all scumbags. it wouldnt have been fair for me to have to foot the bill for my recovery though, so just do it. a lawyer may be able to get access to a camera or something you didnt even know was there, find this scumbag and sue them for all their worth, especially after a hit and run.

thing that really urked me in my accident was dude pulled over across the intersection and immediately starter trying to pop the dent out of his fender, didnt even look to see if the guy he ran over was ok. when i approached him and asked if he was ok, his comment was "this damage doesnt look superficial", looking at his car. fuck people.

 

Man, I saw that exact same thing happen to a guy trying to cross Tacoma years ago. Cars in the right lane stopped for him and waved for him to cross. He goes running past the car in that lane and got nailed just the same way as you did by the car coming up in the left lane. Bounced off the windshield and ended up in the oncoming lane where, fortunately for him, he remained conscious and was able to drag himself out of the path of a car coming from that direction.

 

I thought this thread was posted in the wrong section and was about the Blazers.

 

I hope nothing is wrong and you are good to go. That sucks. But, contact your insurance/Dr (does it count under auto, or straight health?) either way..... get the proper care and don't be like my dumb-ass friend who tore his ankle ligament and never went in to get an MRI (and now can't run).

 

Because you were talking about bicyclists being hit by motorists, and if any of them were the idiots I've seen running their stop signs on the spring water trail as if they don't apply to them then I wouldn't have too much sympathy. In fact I often see bicyclists run stop signs out on the road, but it's a whole new level of stupid when they run them at a cross section where cars don't have to stop.

There are definitely drivers who shouldn't be driving, I've seen cyclists who shouldn't be cycling... Amazing how entitled people can feel when they are out there with cars and just a tiny bicycle.

 

Sorry you got hit....glad you're ok...lucky it was a Civic....so many worse cars to get hit by ...my son got broadsided by a motorcycle running a red light while driving his old Civic....they dent pretty easy

 

Did you call the cops to report it?

 

So the golf cart's fender was bent at your workplace. I was picturing a company vehicle the size of a forklift either inside a warehouse, the building grounds, or the parking lot, but then you said it was at an intersection. Now I think it was a golf cart with fenders speeding through an walking intersection inside a very busy golf course, probably just before the 9-hole with an artificial green hill obstructing the view.

 

i was crossing an intersection at work. not a golf course, we used golf carts to give old and injured people rides (hospital). he turned left into me from the head on. the golf cart had giant flashing orange lights on it. impossible to miss unless you're texting. i heard him speed up before he hit me so he wasnt even looking up.

 

Did you make sure he got a moving citation? Who did the policeman decide was at fault, after you called the police?

 

Cyclists more often than not will eventually hurt themselves when disregarding the rules of the road and take their chance by doing so. I agree. No sympathy for that kind of idiocy.

Motorists on the other hand have the power to hurt more than themselves. I've seen people disfigured and disabled for life even though they followed the rules of the road. As bodyman said in a post, I'm now a little paranoid about certain situations.

 

He was at fault. the person going straight has the right of way. He even had the sign left turn yield to oncomming traffic to remind him. i made bank.

Threads nkt about me though. hope the OP lawyers up and hopefully finds the scumbag that hit and run. and definitely hope he's ok. with the blazers looking like a train wreck we dont need the fans getting smashed too.
