      Car insurance should pay for all bicycle riders to have a gundam flying behind them protecting them from cars.

      I'd Sue them no matter what. Insurance will pay 10k to make you go away. Go to the hospital now. Get some documentation.

        This, happened to a friend of mine and the insurance company has set package payouts for this. Anything that made it hard for you to go to work is especially good.

        my chain ring and the metal piece around it is super fucked, will have to be replaced. i'm not sure if there's anything else.

          Ah that's good to hear, decent chainrings are pretty cheap, and if by "metal piece around it" you mean some sort of chainguard that can possibly just be bent back in shape.

          Oh, and you should have a good look at the chain to see if it was damaged with the chainring
