So past weekend I got into a motorcycle crash. Deer hit me while going 80K.
It was dark country road, riding by myself. Saw the deer jump onto the road, and starting to sprint across. Barely had time to brake, hit the deer, headlight went out, bike fell over, and I started sliding in the dark, no idea where I was headed. After sliding for what felt like an eternity, hit the gravel on the side of the road, started tumbling and ended up in a ditch. Scariest experience of my life by far.
A driver on stopped, he called 911, ambulance came took me to ER. They looked me over, did some x-rays, gave me anti inflammatory and tetanus shot, cleaned up the road rash, and prescribed pain meds. Had road rash on my wrists, and knees where the kevlar jeans ground away.
Cops came to the ER to see me, they had the bike towed to a local tow yard. They gave me a report number, and took my audio statement.
Buddy picked me up from hospital, and now at home and I am in lots of pain, especially the knees, shoulder, ankles, neck and back. Took the pain meds prescribed, but pain is not going away, walking hurts. Seems like the shot they gave me in the ER is starting to wear off.
Wanted to ask about the experience of other people. What to do from here on out, regarding insurance, work, more doctor visits etc.
