I'd be interested if anyone has any experience with this. my gut feeling is that it's not worth the bother. how much can a suit like this really get? [/ QUOTE ] check my previous post and then check my occupation

Re: i got hit by a car while crossing the street
you obviously have to have some kind of injury...
they're called Soft tissue injuries meaning your hurt but nothing is broken or fractured. when a pedestrian loss is reported, the computer sets a company reserve for an amount...standard reserve for most insurance companies is anywhere b/w 5K and 10K, thus 7.5 being the average I would say. Even if he never goes to the hospital, he can get 1K no questions asked. the company will be chomping at the bit to settle this for that amount.

Thank you for this answer.
Astroglide, I am sure this is what you would have jumped up and done had this happened to you.

Re: i got hit by a car while crossing the street
okay
i went to emergency, i'm fine. i just have an abrasion on my elbow and some bruising on my thigh. i'm in british columbia, so there's no way i'm getting any money out of his insurer for this (we have a crown corporation that insures all drivers in the province). should i file a police report anyways? just so it's on record? and yes, i should have called the police when it happened, but i wasn't really thinking straight. i don't really have a lot of experience with getting hit by cars.

Re: i got hit by a car while crossing the street
unless you needed an ambulance I doubt the police would've actually shown up considering the other driver was facilitating an exchange of info..
