California
I was recently in an Motorcycle Accident in Orange County, CA. The other driver was at fault and there is a police report stating that. There was no contact between my bike and his car, but I did drop my bike at 40 mph while i was trying to avoid that car. The bike is pretty much totaled. Lucky, I got up with out any pain thanks to my protective gear: leather jacket, leather gloves, boots, and a good helmet ( i slid 60 feet ).
Problem is this: I cant sleep because of how freaked out I am about the accident and sore all over my body: wrist, shoulders, elbows, hips, back, and knees. Its been 2 days with out a good night sleep and the soreness just gets worse when i lay down and try to sleep. I have missed one day's work and will be able to work on monday, ( if i get any sleep ).
I dont want to be "one of those guys" that take advangage of the situation, but I want to be compensated. How do I figure out what is fair to ask for pain and suffering?
