Yes I was riding in the correct direction and yes the car was parked when it happened. I don't have the citation # but it was something to the effect of not looking before opening car door when safe to do so.
That's good.

Went to the dr next day and spent about 120.00 on services and pain meds.
What was the date of the accident?

How do you feel now?

Have you needed any further treatment or incurred additional medical expenses?

Did you lose any time from work for which you didn't get paid.

How's your bike?

I need advice on whether I should pursue this w/an attorney or not. And how to put a monetary value on what happened.
I can give you some guidance on that. First thing you have to know is that $120 on meds and minor injury is not worth much and you probably can handle this yourself without an attorney.

Important question: Have you had any contact with the driver's insurance company and what was the discussion, if any, about? Do you have a claim number, claim rep name and phone number?

Answer all of the above questions and we'll continue this discussion in this thread.
