1genr6 · 11-27-2006, 08:02 PM

i know how irresponsible i was, and am pretty sure im f'd. i ride a 2000 r6 and have no insurance. i hit a sv1000 last night, i dont remember anything had a real bad concussion and just got out of the hospital. i had full gear on and am in pretty good shape. im told the other guy got out of there lastnight. anyhow he had insurance and i am in the dark right now on whats going to happen. anyone gone through anything like this? at the very least i have to fix my bike and got a ticket for unassured cleared distance. whats with uninsured coverage on his part? can i get sued or what? im freaking out.

He's probably going to sue you for bike damages and hospital bills. Good luck

Big Jim · 11-27-2006, 08:08 PM

dude work some overtime and get ready for his bills because he will probably go after you to get all of his bills for the accident paid. Good luck

of course it matters. The guy is obviously going to want his shit paid for

Bill McMahon · 11-27-2006, 09:23 PM

He doesn't have to come after you, his insurance co. will have their own people that do that.

I think he was on the streets

but anyways up here you'd get sued.

silverstunterR6 · 11-27-2006, 11:28 PM

Theres no point in suing someone with no money

Nice shoes WILLY!

martino · 11-28-2006, 01:58 AM

in VA, everyone is required to have uninsured/underinsured coverage... basically what it means is someones does a hit and run, or someone without insurance hits you, your covered. Even if you have the sh1ttiest liability coverage, you have this.
the way it works is, when you get hit, you HOPE the other guy doesnt have insurance because its a lot easier to get paid with the uninsured coverage, than having the two insurance companies hash it out and most of the time they agree to disagree.
if he has that uninsured motorist coverage, in VA youd be golden as far as not being financially responsible for damage to his bike.
as far his bodily injury, you're liable if you have no insurance that covers bodily injury. maybe tell him you make 12 grand a year and you live with your parents and you owe your ass on credit cards, he might pass on suing you
good luck

Stunna's don't run into other people. Sorry about your mishap. Try the yamaha forums.

same way here.. u have to atleast be insured to cover the other persons vehicle

zoomer · 11-28-2006, 06:30 AM

I'm new here, at this forum, but it would seem to me, that just for honor and integrity, you should pay to fix someone elses bike that you beat up, not say, f*ck him...too bad, so sad. Must be different attitudes than what I've seen over the years as a biker, and sticking by and respecting your 2 wheeled brothers and sisters.

Just my

.

Peace!!

If your state doenst make you have ins, then you might not have anything to worry about. I think you said it was your fault so I dont know,,

Scott982 · 11-28-2006, 08:53 AM

This is why you need insurance on your bike unless you live in florida..Be prepared to pay for all his shit cause its your own damn fault for being a squid and not having insurance.

Catman · 11-28-2006, 10:29 AM

He probably doesn't want to sue you, just get you to pay for his bike, and kick your ass for almost killing him

I tend to lash out when shit like that happens

Don't be suprised if he is kicking in your screen door in a few hours

letsride · 11-28-2006, 10:45 AM

NH is the same way. You dont NEED insurance but if you hit someone there going to get money from you one way or another.

Malicki · 11-28-2006, 11:04 AM

So, its been a couple days.. whats came of this?

Catman · 11-28-2006, 11:11 AM

Wreck your bike and as soon as you get out the hospital ; you post up on a stunt site ?? First post is a thread I wrecked into another bike........

This is probably a joke, and the funniest thing is none of these cut throats went for the kill ????

ssteve · 11-28-2006, 11:14 AM

If your in california you can sue for ANYTHING so the trick is to just make something up and sue him first
