When I settled my claim back in the 80s they handled the motorcycle and the injury separately. I was able to close out the motorcycle claim without closing out the injury claim. Of course you have to watch what you are signing. Don't know if they do that these days or not. Since you will be dealing with the other guys insurance, you might want to ask your insurance agent some questions.

Get really loud pipes
Wear blaze orange shirts Get a headlight/taillight modulator According to some that will solve your problem! Seriously though, really sorry to hear about your luck. I had a car like that. Funny thing is... It was an orange '70 Rally Nova which should have been easily seen!

That stuff certainly couldn't hurt. Might help with an accident claim, too. "Hey, Mr Insurance person. What else could a reasonable person do to make himself more visable?"

That was very big of them to give you a whole 24 hours notice. I'm sure someone woke up Thursday morning and decided that tomorrow is the day to lay people off. Incredible. Employers complain they can't find good employees, and then they treat them like this.
Good luck with your job search.

The PI rider in the bike insurance is the best bargain I've had in a long time. I've got a $3K out of pocket cap on my medical insurance, and the PI paid that plus some lost income and other incidentals. I had almost $110K in medical and my total out of pocket tnded up being the $400 deductable on the PI.

dyetube, Sorry about your job. Lawyer up if you've been hurt. I'm not saying get greedy or dis-honest, just that things (especially medical costs) can change fast. If you accept a quick closing settlement you're done.
Patricia and my accident was September 5, 2010. There were a couple of "up front" settlements that took care of the bikes and some of the medical. The rest of the case (including loss of my career) won't even get a court date until December 2012. At this point Patricia and I both have recurring debilitating pain due to the accident. I'm doing well to put in 10 hours of what I used to call work in a week. The rest of the time is what it takes to recover from the pain. (Oxycodone & Tequila help if I stay still) Doctors and Physical therapy got almost all of what we received so far and we're not done yet. We down sized and moved to Phoenix to make things work, but before the accident I wasn't thinking of retirement at 53. The lawyer is willing to work on percentage so won't get paid until there is a settlement.
