You may need to see a doctor, and there may be a need for physical therapy
(thats up to the Dr)

Lastly, from an advocacy standpoint, if you sue him you are showing this driver
and anyone he tells the story to that there are consequences to driving your
car into a cyclist.
I agree 100%.

You're not out to make a profit, just being compensated for damage done to you.

I was run over two years ago from behind. Spent two weeks in the hospital, three months off work, it took two years for me to fully recover. It was hit and run, the driver was never caught.

Glad you weren't seriously hurt and GOOD LUCK!!
