I was hit by 2 hit and run drivers on the 405 freeway in santa monica. Thank you to Mike Sexton who helped me pick my motorcycle off the freeway and get it on to the shoulder. Even with him as a witness, and the license plates of both cars, they still got away with it.
Even 5 years later, I am in pain, still paying medical bills, and even going to the chiropractor for my lunch today.
I might look at the police report and get the lady who caused this accident's name, and send her a letter just telling her I am still in pain daily because of what she did. I probably wont, because I havent to this day, but it would really make me feel better to know that she was reminded of something Im sure she forgot.
Thanks to the CHP bastards, she wasnt charged. I had a witness, I had her plates, a good description of her, AND IT WAS A RENTAL CAR!! She was the only driver of the car!! Christ!!! CHP told me I had to identify her out of a black and white photocopy of drivers license pictures. Those can be how old?!?! 4 years?? I gave them a really good description of her, which I shouldnt have done. They pulled everyone that looked like her and shoved her in there too. I couldnt do it! Not one of them had the curly hair she did at the time of the accident, and she was wearing sunglasses. I should have told them she was a black lady or something. LOL Then when they compiled all the pictures there would be one white lady in there and I could have found her! LOL To make matters even more annoying, she said in her statement that I was along side her and I started "wobbling out of control." Yeah, she clipped my side and my bike went into a tank slapper. I got an attorney. They didnt do jack shit. Statute of limitiations was 1 year. They called me a week before the 1 year was up. They said they would continue the case but not pro-bono. I was broke as a joke paying medical bills. I couldnt afford a lawyer out of pocket. That was the end of that. Assholes.
On a good note, I just tried out a chiropractor that my coworker suggested. I feel WONDERFUL!!! I havent felt this good in years!!!!
