Your boss clearly has no sympathy! Btw, do you use your riding pants during work?
A person's word means absolutely squat in these situations. As soon as she spoke to her insurance they would've told her NOT to ever admit/deny anything. That's insurance claiming 101. You should get as much detail as possible at the scene, even if it means recording the scene and verbal exchanges. Even get the cops involved, or at least make a police report asap.
And forget bout witnesses. Your phone/cam is your witness. These days it's becoming more and more common to see riders with a cam on their helmet.

Yep, t'was but a flesh wound...
Word. Yeh, they're just kavlar jeans, might try slowly pushing it till I eventually end up sitting at my desk in a one piece and helmet on. But one step at a time.
Believe it or not, it was the first time I forgot to charge the helmet cam, sucker ran outta juice as soon as I left the house. Irony.
I'm assuming the "unprofessional" comment from your boss was about working in your undies? My work frowns on it too, that turned it into quite a long lunch break.
Tell them you will be lodging your claim with the disputes tribunal if it's not satisfactorily resolved soon. You don't have to deal with the other driver's insurance company, your claim is against their client.
As mentioned previously you're better off cash settlement based on half a new tank, and claim new pants (along with whatever else that's damaged on the bike).
Just remove the stitches you added to the pants and take pictures then. I'd claim that besides the visible damage, they have likely been stressed in areas not identifiable from visual inspection. This is similar to the way vehicle insurance policies generally cover replacement of child car seats - even if not directly impacted.
Looks like you own a hyosung and are more than willing to admit it. Perhaps suicide would be a easier option for you than insuring a Korean failed abortion of engineering?
Yeah, that's what I did and frankly if they say otherwise I wouldn't hessitate to call them out on it. Just gave them another call, apparently everything's gonna get looked at today and I'll hear from them before the end of tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
