In my always humble opinion:

1) It is a very good and happy sign that it all worked out so the OP first thought about bike damage.
2) If/when I am hit making a left turn, it will probably happen where I am feeling very safe, relaxing caution, ignoring mirror, and doing a lame or late signal.
3) If/when I hit another rider who is turning left, it will probably be because I was all wrapped up in going fast. (Fast for me, that is and not to be confused with true fast.)
4) The hitting rider in this case was a conflicted lawyer. His residual humanity required him to stop but his legal instincts would not allow him to communicate appropriate regret for his action.
5) Bike paths are nice and all, but often exactly the wrong choice for riding at speed. (Remember, this is a humble opinion, not to be confused with fact.)
6) If road rash were to be the frequent price of riding, I would gladly pay.
