My deepest regrets and wishes for an excellent recovery.

When my son was critically injured in 1986, one of the first things we did was to contact an attorney. A civil suit was filed. 11 years later we settled, after two trips to the LA Supreme Court, etc.

Keep in mind that you may have the effects of this injury for some time to come, even lifetime. Your expenses may not just be limited to the hospital bills. There may be psychological effects such as future fears of bicycle riding and even PTSD. And it may take some time for these to show up.

Don't be in a hurry to settle, no matter how large the check is that they wave in front of you.

And, everything you write in these forums will find their way into discovery and a trial, if there is a trial.

Best of luck.
