Reminder to my comrades on bicycles to be very careful out there. I thought I saw the FedEx driver see me, but clearly I was mistaken. Now I've got new hardware in my knee (the good one, of course) and seven staples in my noggin.

I feel awful for the driver. I also drive for work, albeit just a Tacoma. I'm pretty sure it I hit a pedestrian, short of them jumping in front of me, I'd be losing my job. We should hold ourselves to a higher standard regarding driving and especially safety. That said, I do not want the guy to lose his job. BUT, yes, after consulting with a couple trusted friends, one of them the one who got me into communism, and was advised to sue the pants off the company. So I called a lawyer. The truth is I can't afford not to sue, as I will be out of work for potentially months. I have a 80 hours of leave available to me once I go on official medical leave, and I have short-term disability insurance. But both if those things cover 40 hours a week (the STDI only a portion of that, iirc), and I work and budget for 45 to 50. I've got no savings. Things are going to get financially dicey pretty quickly.

When a driver hit cyclist me, I got $10k for a "minor" shoulder injury (ac joint separation, no surgery) 15 years ago, and in retrospect, I should have demanded double that. With the injury you sustained, a good lawyer should be getting you close to 6 figures. Glad you survived, comrade

yeah for sure, but its a company car and the company/insurance gets sued.
