Default Just slammed a motorcyclist

I just creamed a motorbike, and it's rider. I was in the right lane on a four-lane road (in traffic) and this guy came across the traffic from my left and appeared in front of me. I hit the brakes, then my car hit him. I was doing about 30 before hitting the brakes, he got tossed on to the windscreen, breaking it, and then bounced on to the sidewalk.

His right leg is busted clean thru at about mid-shin. Cops came on the scene and they took him off to hospital. I had to go to the police station, then have my car checked out for defects (prior defects, that is).

Not fun. But worse for the rider, that's for sure.

Aren't you pretty much always at fault when you hit someone from behind?

Go buy a Yugo to help make your new insurance premiums as affordable as possible.

And you prove this how?

You : He cut me off
Him : No I didn't

You are supposed to be in control of your own vehicle at all times.

Please. One of my favorite urban myths. There can always be superseding circumstances which affect liability. In this case, it is likely the motorcycle rider is at fault.

Just be honest fatass, you have no clue on what to do.

Am I insane for thinking a cop should know first aid? He just stands there overtop of the guy for a while before even checking on the dude.
