+1....sounds like if it was the rider's fault she's shit outta luck, but in many cases it is the driver of another vehicle's fault. In which case if you run your bike into a car because they pull out in front of you, it will do minor damage to the car and probably kill you or mess you up for life! (That is why liability is so damn cheap though) Don't get me wrong, I think it's great that when you get into a car accident that your insurance pays for your passengers, but that girl definitely should take responsibility for her actions and pay for her own medical bills even if she did suffer permanent damages to her body. It's the risk she took. It's not like you can haul around 4 people on your bike like you can in a car! Most people have medical insurance anyhow,,,especially at her age...Sucks when rates go up though....
