Close call today...I got hit while riding a bike

I was out riding my bike and got hit by a 83 year old lady in a dodge diesel truck pulling a horse trailer.. Spent 6 hours in the ER after catscans and X-rays and left with just some bumps and bruises..
I know bicyclists get a lot of hate on here, but I ride only on desolate back roads, obey traffic laws, and try to stay out if everyone's way.
I also had a dream this morning that I was riding in the passenger side of a car and saw a child standing in the road get run over by a car.. Really
disturbed me...
Tl/dr - I got ran over....

Was the old lady charged with anything?

She got a ticket. Got her info..

So she pretty much sideswiped you?

Her right front side hit the back of my tire, sending the bike flying. Don't know how I at least didn't break a leg being clipped in..She never saw me she said..I heard the engine coming(diesel) so I hugged the edge of the road.. I landed on a flat spot of grass near a bamboo field. I'm sure that helped.

Filing a lawsuit?
Posted on 8/3/15 at 1:49 am to Tunasntigers92
If her insurance pays for my doctor bills and gets me a bike I'll be fine...no need to sue an 83 year old woman.
Posted on 8/3/15 at 1:51 am to Jiggy Moondust
Yeah, the woman probably shouldn't be driving in the first place.

Yep, much less a large truck pulling a trailer...

Oh well, at least you came out of it pretty much unscathed.

First time you get hit riding back on a rider/jogger trail I'll feel bad for you. Until then you brought it on yourself.
Also the roads clearly aren't desolate enough and you're fine and tying up 6 hours of the E.R. Time

You can't stay out of everyone's way on these roads. Yall should not be allowed to ride on roads that do not have a paved shoulder

I don't know how some of these old people are allowed to drive
