Here, the guy not only helped you but he drove you to the hospital and paid your expenses out of pocket. It would be bad karma to try and "milk" him. So you had a few days off from work w/o pay -- yes, he may be technically responsible under the law, but use your good judgement -- the world is too litigious already, and I think you should consider thanking him and letting it drop, being thankful you are alive and well.

And this is coming from an attorney.
