Time for an update.
The good: the police report was sent to AAA, but not to me. :| Anyway, AAA reviewed it and then called my witness. Today I verified that they are accepting liability for all medical costs and vehicle damage. :banana
The bad: it took 6 weeks to get a doctor to declare that my wrist is broken.
The ugly: I've discovered a method for keeping the stench of my cats* down to a minimum.
1. douse interior of cats with 91% isopropyl alcohol
2. insert 120 PSI air compressor hose into cats.
3. avert eyes to avoid having filthy flesh-imbued alcohol flung into them
* I'm dyslexic, so this word looks like "cast" to me.

Towelhead extraordinaire.
Morgan, you have to go down to your local CHP office and request a copy of the report. It's $10.

SFPD, yo.
Anyway, Triple Ay is sending a copy to me.
If I don't get it, maybe I'll start creepily hanging around the Keepers of The Reports Wing at 850 Bryant while I'm doing jury duty next week.

Oh, in that case:
Morgan, you have to go down to your local SFPD office and request a copy of the report. It's 10 fajitas.

:laughing No, mang! SF reports come from the Grand Central Ministry of Police Misinformation at 850 Bryant. Why you make a scrambal in my signal?!!11

Is this thing on?
WTF?? Show me a lawyer who only charges $60/hour, and I'll show you a court case you're gonna lose. Hell, Starbucks baristas make $60/hour in that city...

Unless we are specifically trained in accident reconstruction (not just accident investigation, which all/most are trained in), we cannot write a cite (for an infraction) for a crime that did not occur in our presence.
In fact, when I write a traffic accident report, it's merely my "opinion" as to what happened, based on the evidence at hand. Granted, that's usually what the insurance agrees with as well.
In my department the only officers who can cite after the-fact are the motor officers (as they've been to Accident Recon school). That may be why a cite wasn't issued.

Feh, sorry this happened to you.
It's a bit like that Brazil flick, isn't it?
I got left-turned in Oakland last year by an uninsured driver, and I am still fighting with my own insurance company (State Farm) to get claim $.
The motor officer at the scene of my wreck noted that the driver was in violation of Vehicle Code § 21801(a)...she failed to yield the right-of-way. But he didn't cite the driver, either, dammit.
Hope you climb out of your bureaucratic hellhole soonly.

^ :laughing Well, I did notice that the police report called me "Mr. Tuttle" in one paragraph and "Mr. Buttle" in another.
I actually seem to have made it out of this whole deal OK. I gots my check from AAA, my medical expenses are covered, my arm isn't in a cast any more, and I have all the parts to get my bike running again (thanks to Z3n). :banana
May your claim be fulfilled swiftly.

Isn't that moment of getting a cast off fascinating? It cracks off, and you have this momentary feeling of liberation when the air hits your skin; then, you look down at your (insert affected limb here), all smelly and hypersensitive like it's been under a rock, and it feels rubbery and not quite part of you.
Anyway, congratulations on getting it off and getting stuff slowly straightened out.
