Unless it's totally outrageous like the guy getting knocked off by a bus as we've all seen on video - forget it. Claim compensation but don't expect the driver to be found at fault. 'I didn't see him/her' covers a lot of bases :0<
Go to hospital. make sure they are fully aware of any physical injuries. Go to your GP and record any mental injuries. Fear of getting back on the bike, cycling in traffic, maybe you're fearful of traffic acting erratically even when you're walking on the pavement? Reving engines make you nervous. etc. One thing's for sure - the driver won't get charged with anthing - dangerous driving, driving without due care and attention etc, it just doesn't happen if there's a bike involved. Good luck, hope you have a speedy recovery and get back in the saddle soon!!
