Unbelievable.

I had an incident very similar to Karen's last year. A 70 bus overtook me in the northbound 1300 block of 7th Street NW, sideswiping me and sending me flipping over my handlebars. Metro Transit Police took a report (but MPD did not). There were two witnesses; a WMATA claims officer contacted them and they told her that the bus was definitely at fault, and WMATA paid for everything (my ER bill, the damage to my bike, the damage to my clothing). The settlement came quickly and I was given no trouble by WMATA officials. Karen, I'm sorry they're giving you the runaround. Do you know if a claims officer has contacted any of the witnesses?

The only unresolved issue from my incident is that they never identified the driver (I didn't catch the ID number of the bus).
