Video Description
I got in a hit-and-run while riding my Suzuki DRZ400S'M'. Truck with a trailer full of lawn gear didn't stop. I flew, tumbled, busted nose, cracked ribs... but my iPhone survived 😂
Police report filed, then the real fight began: Dairyland Insurance tried to lowball me at $800 for the bike + gear (receipts, eBay comps, everything ignored). Their rep threw every excuse—30-day deadlines, storage fees, the works.
I pushed back, stayed polite but firm, and walked away with just under $3,000 to fix it up and replace gear... AND kept a clean title on the bike.
Rant incoming: uninsured drivers putting everyone at risk, insurance companies playing games, and why you gotta advocate for yourself. Drop your own insurance horror/wins in the comments—I wanna hear 'em!
