You should retain a personal injury lawyer immediately.

Sorry this happened to you. You should get a copy of your police report. Contact the police to make sure this case is active and let them know you want to move forward with a criminal case. The DA may choose not to. Then, you need to find a personal injury attorney. The issue you are likely to encounter has to do with yor damages. How much damages did you suffer? Did you miss work? Is there emotional trauma? If you have no damages, then an attorney is less likely to take your case. However, you will not know that until you speak with someone.
Good luck!
