January 11th * active duty service member (me) got hit by a car while riding my bicycle on redwood and Pershing drive San Diego ca * while she was on her phone driving her boyfriend car at the time. the bicycle had many lights on the both tires, riding at the same directions with the cars on the bike lane. At the time I didnt have my wallet with me, I was taken to scripps hillcrest where i was told they saw nothing wrong with me on a cat scan and I was able to leave four hours later. within the month I reached out to one attorney who was unable to help because they couldnt locate the insurance, therefore they discontinued their services with me. In feb of * I discovered i had a broken tailbone fractured that the doctors and radiologist missed during the ER. Months of psychological abuse from the chain of command.

During this time I was able to locate their insurance an may *, my grandmother was dying from covid so i went on emergency leave to orlando to visit her while she was dying each day. came back in july * to san diego and I reached out to another attorney and asked about suing the city of san diego and at that time he said it was too late because there is a 6 month statue of limitation and the insurance denied coverage for the vehicle as well( I have the letter of denial). So he said I can go after them in small claims court, I tried to do that but the judge said this case is worth more, I went back to the attorney and told him that, we proceed with superior court during this time I am seeing a lot of doctors for recovery and constant physical therapy.
