Maybe I'm just naive, but i feel pretty confident that they'll get the person.
A helmet is on the way.. for sure!
First, glad to see you didn't get killed.
Second, if you're considering any legal action at all (and I would) - take the other poster's suggestion and shut up. Anything you say could potentially be used against you. For example, you say you "hopped in the shower." So I take this to mean you didn't need any assistance, that immediately after the accident you were able to carry on with normal activities, and that you even "hopped" into the shower as opposed to crawled into the tub or lying on the bathroom floor, unable to move and about to pass out from the pain - hmmm, perhaps your injuries aren't so bad as you claim.
And that's how the other side is going to spin it.
