As others have noted, thank you for your service...
As for the wreck, they happen. As a retired PO from SW Florida for 25 years, from what you state and that she was charged in the crash, your good to go (so to speak). Could you have handled the bike differently in an emergency situation, perhaps.. Are you required to drive defensivly, no, but it helps to anticipate that left hand turn in front of you...Experiance helps but that takes time and practice. Ride like your invisable.. She clearly violated your (and your buddies) right of way..
BTW, I had a similar wreck when I was 19, an old man pulled a left in front of me in 1977, totaled my 1975 RD 350, put me in the hospital for a month and numerous surgeries as well.
You need to see a lawyer (IMHO, you have very solid case) and as noted prevously, watch you put out in public..
Good luck...
I'll be talking to legal on Monday for action that I need to take, armed with police report and images.
As for your wreck, month in the hospital and multiple surgeries, you're scaring me a bit. Glad to hear that there's more people that people imagine that are able to "walk away" from these types of incidents.
