    GEICO is known to be a hard player in my area, they also do not like open and shut, you have hard evidence of liability. They give you sh8t tell them to pound sand and see ya in court.
    I would have to check with legal as to making it known about the video evidence. It is a normal procedure to show the Police evidence of this nature for report writing and is also helpful in them writing citations. Different States different rules, check with your council before agreeing to anything,,,

    GEICO was VERY interested in the video when I mentioned it, after her long scripted speech, the agent said in a completely different tone of voice, "Oh, can you send us a copy." I told her "Sure, let me just check with my lawyer to see if that's OK to do." I knew it was OK I just wanted them to linger a little. I waited 48 hours and after a couple of very nice messages left on my answering machine pleasantly reminding me if I had the time to send the video, I sent it to her. She called me back saying from what she could see I have zero liability. Let's play ball

    If you are experiencing post traumatic accident symptoms (physical and mental) that needs to be addressed and you should be made whole again as a result of that. Speak with your lawyer about achieving maximum compensation and restitution.

    A high impact vehicular encounter such as what you had experienced will most likely have far lingering and negative effects on your future quality of life.

    Especially with the loss of enjoyment due to the trauma this has inflicted on your spouse and her inability to fathom letting you ride again.

    Just saw this thread for the first time and read every response. Sorry to hear this Mike. I echo what the majority has already said. I hope everything is more than satisfactory when all is said and done.

    That's for sure will, even in my car today I was experiencing extreme anxiety when I came to a stop constantly looking in the rear view and not taking my eyes off till the car behind me came to a full stop.

    A guy pulled out in front of me a year ago (in my car) on the way to work. I was blinded by the sun and some stubborn frost on the windshield. A little knoll in the road sealed the deal. I rammed into him as he gradually accelerated. I was going 45, he was going 15.

    Anyway, I still feel that anytime my eyes are not directly on the road, that I am going to look back and there will be a car, truck, person, animal there. Unfortunately, these events take a while to clear our minds.
