<p>Keep all your receipts, all your notes from the hospital and staff. Even in this world of electronic records, you need to keep a diary, an inventory of everything done and all your expenses. When I was hit by a truck at State and Roosevelt, the trucking company paid for everything and repaired my bicycle.</p>

<p>PS Perhaps I watch too much late night television, but perhaps you should also contact a lawyer???</p>

<p>I just wanted to take a moment since I was brought up in this thread to say that I'm very grateful to everyone that entrusts me with their case. It means a great deal to me personally and professionally. I can't stress enough that if you ever have any questions or anything, just give me a call. I'm happy to answer whatever questions you have and discuss the options. I'm here to help. </p>

<p>Thanks everyone for your advice!!! I took a hint from the sidebar and contacted Mike Keating's office, he got back to me soon after and seems amazing. He advised me not to give ANY statements to any insurance people that call me, just to say that I have a lawyer. So I guess I have a lawyer now, what a new life experience!</p>

Get a lawyer. It's the only way you'll get a fair shake from the driver's insurance company.

MC, glad you're still around and mostly ok. Take Jim's advice above and mostly slow down about the bills for right now. I don't think that l would contact his insurance company just yet. Chill and concentrate about getting healthy for right now.

<p>FOR SURE, I would not be calling up the driver's insurance company and giving them any statements at this point. This is a serious injury. You need the advice of a competent lawyer, preferably one with experience in cycling cases, before you go any further. I am not affiliated with him in any way, but one who springs to mind is Mike Keating, a long-time Chainlink member who is an attorney with extensive experience in this area. I would check him out. Just my two cents worth. </p>
