Just out of hospital following an RTA (me being hit by a 4x4 whilst riding my newly-repainted Pompino) on Tuesday morning here in Los Angeles.
I was knocked unconscious upon impact, taken to hospital with a broken clavicle, broken jaw, minor skull fracture (leading to bleeding on the brain) and sprained ankle. I was wearing a helmet.
Still awaiting LAPD Police Report but have already had a letter through from the insurer of the car that hit me, offering to respond to my claim (which I haven't even made). This says to me that the 23-year-old chap driving what is likely to be his parent's car has probably already admitted liability.
Bike is in need of a few repairs, but it's in far better shape than me. Liquid diet for the foreseeable, and a shitload of serious meds for the next fortnight.
Seeking advice from a cycling-specific lawyer in the week.
