first incident involving a car!

Sorry to hear about the crash, hope you make a swift revovery.

For the record, irrespective of who was or was not to blame, the driver had to give you his and the vehicle owner's name and address, or failing that he has to report it to the police within 24 hours (Highway Code rule 286/RTA 1988 Section 170).
Also, as there was an injury, he has to report to police anyway within 24 hours and provide indurance details within 7 days (HC 287/RTA 170).
So I think it is worth your while reporting the incident to the police anyway if you want to pursue this. Whether they will/can do much is another question of course.

Safe cycling!

+1 with a minor adjustment - there's no 24 hour limit, you have to report it to the police as soon as practicable, and this is only in case where it's impossible to swop details at the scene, I.e. other party not there or other pay left.
