Your question omits some facts I would need to properly advise you. If you own a car, you need to inform your car insurance company of the accident immediately. If you have insurance on your car, then you would undoubtedly have Personal Injury Protection insurance which would cover 80% of your medical bills and 60% of your lost wages up to a total of $10,000. If you carried uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage on your car insurance, that would cover you and stand in the shoes of the at-fault driver (or owner), up to the limits of your coverage. If you don't want to hire a lawyer, then at the least call your insurance agent who sold you your car insurance policy, report the accident, and find out what coverages you have on your car insurance.
