Taking hits

Is there any recourse a biker can take when an idiot motorist opens up his door and almost kills you? I took a bad hit yesterday from some @$$hole in a Lexus when he swung his door out in front of me. Damaged my right arm pretty bad as well as destroyed one of my pedals. I started screaming and cursing at the guy (who was casually apologetic) but it seemed like even if I called the cops I wouldn't of had much of a case. I had no majopr injuries but I lost a day of work and skool to get x-rays. I just wanna show drivers like him to be more careful. I know this is probably a tired topic for some of you but please let me know how you deal with these kind of minor but jarring incidents. Thanks!
