BTW, if jitterygoat, god-forbid, had suffered injuries or fatalities, would you still be so forgiving stating "Accidents happen" and "Suing someone in this situation is a waste of time and money" hmmmm?

You are once again overreacting. I'm not defending distracted driving. When did I "apologize for those people"? No doubt it's a problem. That's not the point here. The point is, the OP was in a traffic accident and there is a procedure to deal with this which involved the police and the insurance companies. That's all that needs to happen.
By the way I also have been a motorcycle driver and it's incumbent on that driver to be defensive and watch out for other drivers. It's the risk you take when you ride a bike.
