Wouldn't hurt to talk to a lawyer. Most offer a free consultation so you'll hava an idea if whether it is worth pursuing or not. Some attorney's work strictly on a percentage of what you win with no other fees. These are the guys that are going to try to get every penny they can. The more you get, the more they get. If they don''t think there will be much moola they won't want to work with you. Others will have an hourly fee or perhaps a flat fee if its really simple and they just have to make a few calls. You don't lose anything by at least contacting an attorney and protecting your rights. You lost time from work, had the hassle of visiting a doctor and chiropractor, had your bike busted and probably had a pretty good scare. That doesn't entitle you to a new house and a Ferarri but you do deserve to be compensated for your real damages. Good luck.
