You need to be compensated for what was taken from you. Don't be afraid to make it
right. You're screwing yourself over if you don't.

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.
