It sounds like you are making the right choice. I want to emphasise that talking to a lawyer will not leave you any worse off than you are now, as you've paid for them with your BC membership and they have to advise you on a course of action that is best for you, and they can't disclose anything you tell them without your permission. But if you were following him, and he stopped unexpectedly, then the accident is probably mostly your fault.

I'm surprised by how many people think it's @RoubaixCube's fault for hitting a car that moved into the stopping distance in the lane. I've known people found at fault for pulling out into a lane in front of a car when the adjacent lane was empty and they could have overtaken (but chose to collide instead for some reason). It being possible for a cyclist to avoid the incident doesn't necessarily make it their fault, so I'd talk to the lawyers... but it may well not be worth pursuing.
