Nothing is broken and that is good but you have more than bones to repair. You may already notice other problems since the accident. Follow up with your doctor and monitor any changes. And don’t sign off with the insurance company until you know for sure that all is good. Also if their insurance person calls you, refer them to your agent. I had an agent call me the day after my bike accident. I had a concussion (even wearing my helmet) and he started asking me questions about the accident. They would love to get you on record while you are still shook up. Refuse the interview.
