March 3, 2001 my son, 14 years old, was riding his friends bike and while on the side walk he went to cross over an in/out drive way to publix in coral springs florida when a lady in a yukon was on the cell phone with very dark tint (and per the police report) she observed my son on her right then she looked left and went to pull into traffic. she did not look back to see how much closer my son had gotten. when i got to the accident site my son was being put on the ems backboard and he was brought to the hospital where they put a 1/2 cast on him and he left with cruches. he is still in pain and going to the dr. on monday for some more evaluation. they think he may have injured his growth plate in his ankle. she was ticketed for being at fault. the problem that i have now though is it was his friends bike and i have only state required auto insurance this is also a no fault state. how do i get the bike replaced? and what can i get for my son? what can i do if he is not perminately injured? when he was hit he got thrown from the bike into on coming traffic and his shoe went in the oposite direction about thirty feet. he was bruised from his groin to his calfs on both legs. he was in pain for weeks and as stated before he still has pain in his ankle. thank you in advance for your assistance.
