I'd love to get another bike right now. However, the timing is pretty bad. My contract is up in Santa Monica mid-December and I'll be going back to Chicago at that point. So no real reason for me to get another bike right now. But, I could be getting a full-time position in Santa Monica and if...

Well it looks like the settlement check is in the mail for the repairs to my bike. They also included the cost of my gear! Definitely happy with the outcome of that. Cali rider has first dibs on the bike. If he isn't going to take it, I'll post here and throw it in the Classifieds for...

Nice! A fellow CS nerd. I graduated with a BS in CS in 2007 and am working as an IT Consultant. I think I am going to head to grad school in the next couple of years for my MBA. I don't want to be pigeon-holed into a life of coding & system architecture, even though I am a geek. Major props on...

Good to hear that insurance is covering you nicely Rob.

How are you doing man? Hopefully you are able to put clothes on now :) And feel free to thread-jack! Our 2 bikes together make 1 great bike... wait no they don't. Just 2 bikes with the same busted parts, but yours is way worse :o

Good to know! I was wondering about that today...

Really appreciate the post, Imperitas. I definitely know there are "kick-backs" going on with the doctor, lawyer, and physical therapist. It's funny how quick the lawyer was to tell me that I should cancel my scheduled physical therapy sessions and call another doctor in my area :). I'm still...

Finally chatted with a lawyer today and the first thing I will say is that I WISH I HAD CONTACTED ONE IMMEDIATELY. All of the bull**** that I've had to put up with insurance, health insurance, doctors offices, etc. would have been eliminated and taken care of by a lawyer. Avoiding that headache...

In that case my suggestion is way more valid :)

Total it, buy my crashed bike, and turn it into a sweet naked bike :)

Well I would hope that the settlement I would receive with a lawyer would be the original settlement + his cut + some more, which would be the only reason to get a lawyer. casual_lee -- why do you think we have a case against the PD? Because they didn't come to the scene?

I'm not necessarily looking for advice from a lawyer on the board, just suggestions for a good, trustworthy one and some questions for people that have used a lawyer successfully in the past. I'm more than willing to pay for advice from an actual lawyer, or rather have AAA pay for me to get...

Met with the orthopaedic surgeon this morning. He said "Good thing you are strong and healthy and were wearing your equipment. This could have been a LOT worse." He said that I shouldn't be too concerned with my injuries or the long-term impact of them, and 6-weeks of physical therapy will have...

He finally signed up? Good! Time to e-stalk and see what he's been posting...

My aunt loves her across the street in Studio City. It is bomb diggity

Thank god for California and it's awesome weed laws ;) hahaha

I looked at the pictures before reading and got very worried, but I'm glad that hear that you're alright man. Glad the projectors made it through :p Let's get together and do some fun non-riding activities (since we're both out of commission). Shoot -- hopefully you and Cali rider are...

Looks like a perfect day for a ride. Wish I could have made it out!!

MRI results came back. The abnormality on T12 was pre-existing and the doctor said that it shouldn't be causing me issues. However, they did see "a disc between T6 and T7". I'm not sure what that means. He is going to refer me to bone or back specialist or something on Monday. He also said that...

I'm sure that his insurance is covering medical bills and pain/suffering already. The question is how much and when I should settle. At this point, I'm definitely not settling until everything is figured out with my back. I'll wait to contact a lawyer until the results come back from the MRI on...
