Phooey Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 So I am on my way to work minding my own business when this taxi decides to turn right into a driveway with no warning. RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!Before I know it I am being blue lighted to hospital where they inform me I'll be in the operating theatre before the day is out. Tibia plateau fracture needs a plate to hold three pieces of my tibia together. Now I am home in agony and looking forward to the 8 - 12 weeks totally off my feet and a further God knows how long in physio.In that split second my list of firsts are:Accidentambulance rideblue lightin hospitalbroken boneBike is a right off but thankfully, before I even left hospital, his insurance company called me and admitted total liability. Now to see how much of a payout I'll get! Bike is a rite off and I'm off work for a minimum of three months. Quote

Arwen Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 Wow! Hope you heal quickly, sounds like a right sore one! Quote
Phooey Posted October 3, 2017 Author Posted October 3, 2017 Thanks for all of your messgaes guys. It hurts like f*ck but I am sure it'll ease in time. Saving grace is that I shouldn't have a fight on my hands because he has accepted total liability. Yet another SMIDSY gone sour! I was only travelling at about 15 mph too. Othe biker piss down that road at 40 + despite it being a 20 mph speed limit. Quote
The Hitcher Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 Ouch!, not good at all, I hope you heal fast and dealing with the insurance people is as stress free as possible. Quote
