I hope you, the victim, and all readers learn from this incident. Always call the police and insist on an accident report. You certainly have nothing a lawyer would be willing to work with, without it. Also, it's a good idea to talk about a "car accident" situation with a lawyer within a few days after it happens. Many lawyers, myself included, offer free phone consultations. In this specific case, you still have the option of suing (without a lawyer) the person who hit you in civil court for property damage.
