5Your bike frame is not built to stand up to that kind of punishment; I wouldn't risk it at all.– DavidWCommented Jun 1, 2023 at 14:00

9There is a breed of lawyers called "personal injury lawyers". Normally we all hate them. But you need a lawyer to represent your rights, and this is one case in which such a lawyer may be your (future) guardian angel. No personal injury is involved, but the simple worry about your future well being is enough. Replacing your bike is most likely a given. You may have other rights in your jurisdiction. Only a lawyer will tell you.– Sam7919Commented Jun 1, 2023 at 14:07

4For your next bike, I urge you to get a powerful rear (and front) blinking light. They are sometimes called "daylight light" to indicate they are powerful enough to be visible even during daylight. In my experience cars notice me a long time before approaching me, and they leave considerably more distance between them and me. In no way does a suggestion to use lights absolve the person who hit your bike from responsibility. It is simply that I see too many idiots staring at their phones while driving, and reducing the chance of ending up in a morgue is, obviously, also in our best interest.– Sam7919Commented Jun 1, 2023 at 14:19

3@Willeke There is seeing and there is peripheral vision. Try it. Look down on your phone (and then your eyelids will be half-closed), and set up a distant flash light way out at the edge of your field of view.– Sam7919Commented Jun 1, 2023 at 18:24

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. mountain-bike), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
