You are absolutely right, you need legal assistance.
I suggest that you first call your auto insurance company and seek their assistance. They can get your car repaired (you'll probably pay a "deductable") until the matter gets straightened out. They will also defend you from claims from the trucking company.
Next, get a consultation with a local personal injury law firm. They can analyze the traffic collision report and explain to you your options. In the upper left hand corner of this page is a "Find a Lawyer" link. Go there and get a local law firm that specializes in auto accident litigated cases.
