Miracle you were not hurt a lot worse. I agree, a lawyer is mandatory at this time to protect yourself and recover your costs, including any lost wages if you have delayed reactions to injuries. Forgiveness is healing for both you and the person who hit you, but that does not preclude your rights, w/o animosity.
Continue healing and get well soon.

Disclaimer: 99% of what I know about cycling I learned on BF. That would make, ummm, 1% experience. And a lot of posts.
