I never ride near trucks, especially by intersections.
After 11 years of riding in Boston and Cambridge, I did finally get run over by a taxi trying to u-turn across 3 lanes from a parallel parking spot (actually I went ever the hood and bystanders stopped him from backing over me to drive off).
Pro tip, taxis only have to carry state minimum insurance (30k at the time of my accident 10 or so years ago now).
Did you sue for the additional medical expenses?
Yeah, but just covered that. I had also just quit my day job to start a new company, so that sucked because I had a hard time proving my loss of income, with both arms out of commission.
Ah, damn. Sorry to hear that. Hopefully you are doing better now.
Yeah was about 10 years ago now, my shoulders are working relatively well for mid 40s. Hopefully they’re still going for a lot longer.
