What is my worst case scenario? Do you have her personal information? Try to make contact and feel her out. If she's close to your age ask her for to go for a coffee and a chat. Maybe you're sweating over nothing. It's possible that she wasn't hurt and isn't mad but is contemplating taking action against you. In that case, she could be talked out of it and you have peace of mind. If she is going to take action against you, you might be able to find that out just by gauging her reaction towards you. At least then you'll know whether you should be shitting yourself or that you can go on with your life.
You argued with me that he shouldn't be apologetic in front of her now you are suggesting same exact thing. Wtf are you smoking man?
Or wait, do you think she will want to consider his situation if he won't admit it was his bad and try to be really nice to her? Where do you live?

I never even argued with you. Just take a step back and reread the posts objectively.
You're suggesting that kdog should go and grovel to the girl, essentially throwing himself at her mercy so she won't take him to court. That is admitting fault and in a court of law that is enough to show that he is legally accepting the charge. He will be unable to fight it in court at the point.
Making contact and showing her that he cares about the health of someone who got into an accident with the vehicle that he was driving doesn't mean that he is accepting legal fault. It's a way of making everyone involved feel better about the situation.
I don't argue with you about trying to not let this go to court. I am simply offering counselling to the effect that under no circumstances should he admit fault. You made the implication that he can apologize to her and that was in some way different that doing it to her lawyer. That is not the case. You're taking some interpretation of my words that you're seeing on a computer screen, turning it into a mound of shit and then rubbing it all over your body. At that point, you blame me for making you stink.

Your best case scenario is that she chooses to settle out of court (which would be very silly for her, since she will gain way more money by going to court and suing you).
Your worst case scenario is you are given jail time for driving without insurance, you are also given a fine (here in canada no insurance = $3000 fine). No insurance company will take you without a fight, you will be sued in small claims court for all of the damages done to both her physically, and to her vehicle. You probably will have your driving privledges suspended for at least 1 year if not 3 years.
Also, if you dont have insurance, that means you might be paying all of her medical/vehicle expenses out of your own pocket, garnished from your wages.

it's illegal to not call the police after a car accident, and would more than likely only make his case that much worse. Also, think about it, would she rather be compensated a small fee from a stranger she has no idea will even live up to paying it, or take him to court and have her vehicle replaced, and her medical expenses paid...I mean, you gotta be braindead to just take a small payout.

Seriously, put yourself in her shoes. I'm driving a van and make a left turn in front of you. You're going straight and are unable to avoid a collision. Now you're at home steaming cause some shithead pulled out and you were thrown off your bike. Everyone around you is suggesting you take me to court and get everything that you can. None of your friends even care about you or the driver (me). They're just thinking this is a good opportunity.
Case 1: I call you and beg you not to do anything cause I'm a poor person and I don't have insurance.
Possible thoughts going through your mind?
$$$
or
I feel bad, I shouldn't sue.
Case 2: I call you and invite you out for a beer.
Possible thoughts going through your mind?
Hell no, asshole.
or
$$$
or
I feel bad, I shouldn't sue.
In the first case, if you're going to sue me or were on the fence about it, now you'll have evidence that you can testify to. "Your Honour, he admitted fault." Case dismissed. FUCK!
At least in the second case, I'll know if you don't want anything to do with me and are hostile that you're going to take me to court and I can prepare. If you accept the beer and are going to sue me anyway, at least I'll have tried to reconciled and again I'll be able to prepare.

Yeah, because you said so. She will be able to prove it too and it will matter. I can already tell you've never been through this and your knowledge came from watching TV shows.

You wouldn't call yourself lebron for no reason, I can sympathize with that.

It's legal in the US, at least in MA.

lol, it's hard to argue with your mental acumen. To be perfectly honest, the strength of your logical arguments is just astounding and makes my head spin.
If you see kingjames, and the first thing you think is Lebron, then I say to you that you could use a little more cultural training.
Secondly, how about we dispense with theories and opinions and discuss the legal proceedings.
If the case goes to court the judge will have to establish only one thing: Actus Reus.
Did the accident really happen in the way that the injured claims it did?
If he hit her in the front bumper, game over. Negligence in a motor vehicle accident. 100% in favour of her.
If she was speeding and hit him in the back of the van and it can be proven it will be at best Contributory negligence in a motor vehicle accident. Shared responsibility.
He said there were witnesses who will say that he turned in front of her. Now he says he was going slow so he didn't try to beat her through the intersection. Contributory negligence in a motor vehicle accident. Shared responsibility.
He goes and runs his mouth off about how sorry he is about hurting her? She testifies about that and he can't lie when examined... That's a done deal. 100% in her favour.

you're a fucking dumbass for cutting off a moped and an even bigger one for driving without insurance. People who treat bikes/mopeds like they're normal cars are idiots and shouldn't have a license. 'She should have seen me coming' doesn't mean shit because bikes and mopeds take longer to stop so you don't throw yourself over the handlebars and kill yourself. Don't drive if you're not gonna respect other people on the road. And respect includes paying for insurance, so you don't fuck someone else when you screw up driving.
you should go kiss that person's ass and beg for forgiveness so they don't rightfully sue the hell out of you.
