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.

[/ QUOTE ] "I don't want to move him, he's going to have some spinal and neck injuries" 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.

There can always be superseding circumstances which affect liability. In this case, it is likely the motorcycle rider is at fault.

First you say "there can always be superseding circumstances which affect liability", but then you base your judgement that the motorcycle dude was at fault from just what the OP, who hit the guy, said. It also isn't a myth. You need to prove that it was the other persons fault for you to not be liable. Now true, usually liability is split 50/50 in cases where it's I say/You say. A 50/50 split is still saying I was at fault, at least your insurance will sure see it that way.
