Road rage. Attempted vehicular manslaughter. Reckless driving. These are all valid charges this dude should be facing. Remember to not admit to any poor riding on your part. |

| Newbie Joined: Apr 2012 From: Beaverton, OR I Ride: '07 Kawasaki Ninja 650R | Yeah I'd definitely try and follow-up on anything that can be done to get this guy prosecuted. If he was stopped behind you at a light, then rear ended you when it turned green, AND you have multiple eyewitnesses willing to back that claim up, then I don't see how the claim that you cut him off holds any water. Especially if the officer wasn't even there at the time. I'd say to lawyer up, but it sounds like you've already done that. I'm not sure what suing him yourself entails, but the city ought to be doing this. Might not hurt to get a second opinion from another lawyer. I'll have to keep an eye out for this guy... That's only a few blocks from where I work, and I usually take the bike... |

![]() If you need any advise through the process you can PM or call me. I'll be glad to provide as much information as possible to my fellow riders. Do not admit to any wrong doing and hopefully you have gathered his insurance information and started a claim with his company already. If not, do so! This is true. Hopefully there is at least a report stating he hit you from the rear. Luckily in Oregon state, he is at fault regardles of what happened in front of him. | |
