Saying that the driver didn't see you is just bull****. He didn't see you because he wasn't looking, he didn't exercise proper caution. Was he at least ticketed?
Yeah the "I didn't see the cyclist" card gets played all the time. If you had lights and were positioned properly in the road/your lane, the responsibility for this lies squarely with him. Is there any sort of legal record of the incident. Seems like he (or his insurance company) should be held responsible for any ongoing medical costs you may have to deal with.
