UPDATE! NEED HELP! See new post please
As title states, I got rear ended on my K9 this weekend by a moron UBER driver. He decided he wanted in my lane, cut off the guy behind me, and rear ended me at about a 45* angle. I was stopped and it was in traffic on the slow surface street in town. Kept the bike up and luckily didn't get injured save from a small bit of rash on my knee from my knee hitting the coil cover or something, not sure.
He's insured (as far as his paperwork shows, haven't called yet) and admitted fault (obvious) on camera.
My question is: the bike took 80% of the hit on the rear tire, and a bit on the fender. The fender looks like it's slightly bent up on the left side and has a small chip. I also hit the car in front of me which chipped my front fender right on top. I rode the bike home and everything seems ok, but I'm seriously worried the insurance adjuster will basically claim nothing is wrong aside from the small chips and the slight fender bend and call it a $500 fix at best. Since the brunt of the collision was in the tire, is there something I can check for elsewhere? The belt seems to be the same tightness as it was before, so I don't think it pushed everything forward, but I'm worried about some cracks or something I might not see.
Anyone have any experience with a similar wreck and know what to check? Or have an idea how to argue this?
The damage to his car is slight, but it did put a crease in his bumper (it's a Hyundai sedan) and make a big spot the size of a basketball where the paint is all spider webbed and cracked. Pushed in a trim vent area too.
Thanks guys
