Yes, get a report. This is important in case you find damage later, something breaks, or you are injured (and discover it later). It never hurts to call their (and your) insurance company and file a claim, for the same reason. Also, if you've used a lawyer before, it might be worth asking them.

Would you try to make some kind of deal with the driver?
Not unless you can get it in writing.

Would you let it go and ride away?
I've done this many times. Learn from my mistakes.
