Here is the story of the recent outcome months later...

Just an update. This past Friday there was a hearing for the driver of the dump truck. He was trying to get out of his ticket. I was called as a witness as well as my passenger. The judge took one look at the pictures of my poor 300SRT8 and totally went off on the driver and his carelessness. The driver was ordered to pay a $500 fine and is responsible for full financial restitution of all damages and injuries. He also had is license suspended for 6 months. The judge put the man in tears and his wife burst out crying in the back. All he could do is sob that he was sorry to me and my passenger. It was a difficult day as the whole mess had to be rehashed. The dude does have insurance and they will be responsible for my injuries and damages. I feel good about the outcome and feel justice was served.
The healing continues, but I've just had to have shoulder surgery for a torn rotator cuff. Luckily my family is visiting and I've got help typing tonight!
