Hit by a car on my Bike; help with settlement?

Did you have an accident report done that left her with the ticket? If not then you may not get any damages for pain and suffering. She can get a lawyer and fight against it so if you didn't get an accident claim done then you need to call a laywer to have them submit that for you. They will know depending on what your injurries are what the settlement is that you could get. If it was NO FAULT Insurance for your state like Michigan is you will have even a tougher time collecting so you WILL have to have a lawyer. My car accident which was also not my fault and in which I was really injurred and still seeing doctors for took me 4 years to settle due to the other insurance company fighting it. You won't be fighting against the driver in case you don't know that. She will contact her insurance company and you will fight against those lawyers who are paid mega bucks to make you lose your case. For example, if you hurt your foot they will go through all your medical records and see if that foot was ever injurred before and claim that the pain you are having is from an old injury. They did that to my for 4 years and we had to fight against ever bitty detail to win my case. It's not easy so get a lawyer if you believe you have a case and see what they believe. Good luck.
