I was riding on my bike when a school bus with young children inside knocked me down. Luckily only the bike had damages. It was a hit and run but of course I managed to find him. Reported him to my insurance company, his insurance company and the police. I will sue him. What can I sue him for?

Why bother? He will get his payback without a lawsuit. Nobody was hurt. The damaged bike will be replaced or repaired by the school district's insurance company. He's gonna get all sorts of tickets, and will probably loose his job with the school district because it was a hit and run. If he's driving a school bus for a living he probably doesn't have anything you could get anyway. Why would you want to put more cash in the lawyer's pockets? Part of what is wrong with American today is people running to lawyers just cause somebody pissed in their Wheaties.

And just hgow do we know that it was the bus's fault. School bus drivers don't take too many chances like that. How do we know that you didn't ride into the bus. What does the police report say. Do you have any witnesses?
If you can convince us that you are right then you might be able to cinvince a court.

Wow, someone is sue happy. I love how people try to "get people back" by taking as much money as they can for their own gain.. and somehow feel they are justified.
Obviously... you will only get the cost of your bike from him.
Sure, if you want to go to a psychologist for your "mental anguish" they will pay for that... but you didnt win the lottery.

i does on no account circulate to the papers. i will sue if I felt the college have been negligent if my baby died or had a serious twist of fate for this reason. I regarded on the link and clicked right away off lower back. Son admitted drug dealing and gets kicked out of non-public college, however the mummy and dad are suing. Are they THICK?? they'd desire to think of themselves fortunate thats all that happened.

emotional distress and the cost of damages of the bike. Thats about it. I am sure your very distressed now probably so bad you can't ride your bike and feel safe. That is worth some money.
