The important question here is miles per hour or kilometres per hour

Show it anywayI would rather jump of a bridge with my head down. I'm never giving up my bike
how are they unsafe? he got hit. maybe it's people not paying attention to what they're doing that's unsafe.
It would become a lot safer if they would give some proper driving lessons in the US. It's to damn easy in the US to get a license.
Not sure where in the US you are, but while the property damage portion you might be a bit SOL on, your PIP and Uninsured Motorist coverage (if you have UIM) should at least cover the medical portion to an extent, and possibly some of the property. Also, was this a commercial vehicle? If so, have your insurance claim rep and attny look into tracking down the company and the police report if you don’t have it already, could go after the company for the portion of the property damage they’re responsible for. Otherwise it’s still possible to pursue them personally for damages (depending on how auto liability laws work in your state, if it’s comparative negligence, pure liability or 50/50), even if not much comes out of it, insurance companies usually have some kind of collection agencies they work with in dealing with uninsured motorists.
Seconding what this guy wrote. I've been in the insurance business for 15 years. Good advice up there.
The guy has the truck, doesn't he? And if it's a work vehicle, perhaps the company he works for can be held responsible. I'm glad you're okay, save for the two broken bones. I hope you recover quickly.
he has a truck that sounds assetty at the very least go for getting his license revoked to the point where he has to take an L again
No PIP ins for motorcycles and UIM has a cap out of around $10G/rider. At least that’s how it was when a lady hit me head on. Sorry about your luck, OP. I’m glad you didn’t get injured worse.
How does he not have any assets? He has a truck which he could sell (a house is also an asset and so is everything he owns in his house all of which he can sell, house or wherever he lives) if it’s not under his name then whoever does own it would technically be at fault. If it’s a company vehicle, he should have company insurance. If he wasn’t on clock, he shouldn’t have been driving a company vehicle, so he needs to pay out of pocket, same as if it isn’t a company vehicle. No matter what, if he’s working you can get him court ordered to pay you x amount from each payday. If he’s not, well he can still be charged to sell every last thing he has, even his clothes and bed sheets, and do court ordered work until he works off how much he owes you
You have to remember lawyer speak. A lawyer wants to get their 1/3, and they want that 1/3 to be enough to cover their time and efforts. He could go it without a lawyer, but unless the assets are significant, it isn’t worth the lawyers time. This is literally what a lawyer told my wife when she was rear ended by a guy.
