Get a solicitor like others have suggested, I personally wouldn't speak to the driver directly. I would speak the a solicitor, have them contact the driver to ask the correct questions. The same goes for the witnesses. This way it would most certain take away some of the stress from you, as for now, you need to focus on getting better. In my experience once a solicitor is involved, you would have to do very little.
Maybe I think the worst of people sometimes, the fact that the driver keeps calling could very well be (and I hope it is) that he cares and wants to know how you are getting on / take responsibility etc, but I have 2 friends who have had seemingly caring drivers and as soon as they told them that a solicitor is involved, their tones and manners changed and refused to cooperate. One of them was even stupid enough to have sold the car and pretend nothing has ever happened.
Some solicitors have packages they send out to clients that asks the right questions and help you maintain a record of chain of events etc.
