namtugeoj Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Anyone hear of a mc crash about 4:00ish on wednesday the 17th in columbus? I cant find any details all i know is what i remember. Had the green going toward 71 then lady turned left in front of me. Left leg messed pretty bad. I have two rods in it. Right hand the tendons got shered but are now back together. Had all my gear on. lady already admitted fault and was cited at site. Not sure what my bike looks like and havent been able to find any reports besides some assbackwards police reports. But then the corrected one, so two out there. Its funny in the report that lady said i accelerated when she started to turn. Why in the hell would i do that. I think i ended up laying it down on her left side. Any info would be great. Thanks.

cmh_sprint Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Glad your ok in the grand scheme. I just did a quick search and came up with nothing. I'm going to venture to say your accident didn't get any press because this was the same day two motorcycle cops that were part of Michelle Obama's motorcade crashed in Delaware.

05candygrand Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 I drove right past this picking my wife up from work. I drove past it again when I was leaving and they were just towning away the bike and van. It was a tan minivan correct?Glad to hear you are okay. As soon as I drove by and saw the bike on the ground I said a prayer to myself that the person would be alright.The left side of the van was smashed in pretty good. I wondered how fast the impact was because of how smashed in the door was. The bike surprisingly didnt look to bad from what i could see. It was laying on it's left side iirc.

namtugeoj Posted October 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Did you think you ran into the side of a minivan and the bike stayed upright?? Glad you're ok!Honestly i have no idea. So the chicks insurance agent called and said she is getting a lawyer and contesting that she was at fault. How can you contest after you admitted to the cop that it was your fault.

namtugeoj Posted October 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 On top all this we just accepted an offer on our house. After inspection we have 30 days to get out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2fat2fly Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 That all blows. I'm sorry to hear about your injuries and the wreck. The upsides (and there are many):You're still here.Your wife obviously loves you because she's giving you "the talk".The bike is replaceable.You're moving and have the perfect excuse for "supervising" during the move.Ther are more upsides and I'm sure you'll figure them all out over time.

J_Copeland Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Honestly i have no idea. So the chicks insurance agent called and said she is getting a lawyer and contesting that she was at fault. How can you contest after you admitted to the cop that it was your fault.Glad to hear that you'll be ok.I had this happen in a car.The idiot ran a red light(admitted to the police and in the report) and the company he worked for went to court with State Farm to re-coop for the damages to my car and the 500 deductible I payed out.He LOST !!!

Scruit Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Honestly i have no idea. So the chicks insurance agent called and said she is getting a lawyer and contesting that she was at fault. How can you contest after you admitted to the cop that it was your fault.She has an uphill struggle on her hands. Just the layout of the accident puts he at a disadvantage and the only thing she can claim is that you ran the red. This is the oldest trick in the book (other than "he was speeding"). Don't lose any sleep over it. She would have to PROVE you ran the red. The fact that her insurance company is supporting her is not an issue either - they are contractually obligated to represent her, regardless of how stupid her claim is (within reason). it will go to arbitration and she'll be like a kid with chocolate on her mouth claiming she didn't eat that cookie.My wife turned left in front of someone and our insurance fought it... Our claim was that of the 4 oncoming lanes, 3 stopped when the light changed and then after my wife began her turn a car emerged from the last lane at a "beating the light" speed. The result from the arbiter was; "Unless you can prove the oncoming car ran the red then the oncoming car is assumed to have right of way."** If you need any moving help then PM me. Don't have a ton of spare time but I'll do what I can for a fellow biker/OR dude. I have access to a station wagon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSB67 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 What Scruit said. My buddy got clobbered turning left by a girl running a red and they told him he was at fault because oncoming traffic has the right-of-way no matter what. You should be good guy.

Brownsfan1 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 I had someone pull out in front of me, she tried to say I was speeding and that I was at fault. Her claims did not hold up because I was oncoming traffic and I had the right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namtugeoj Posted October 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Home now. Long road ahead. Heading to get bike out of impound tomorrow. Still have not seen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester3681 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Sounds like you got off about as well as can be expected. Here's to a quick recovery. Let me know if you need any help packing or moving. I have a shitty little car, but I'm willing to do some lifting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just_some_dude Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Don't say a word to the insurance agency. You are already safe with her admitting fault and getting cited at the scene. Do Not Talk! You do not have to say anything. More you say, the worse it can get, your fault or not.Glad you are okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
