Even if a wreck is your fault and you know its your fault and the poor smuck you hit knows its your fault and the cop knows its your fault do not admit fault or say you are sorry.
Rule number two is to call your insurance company even if its not your fault. .

I'm not sure if it is the same out there, but in California you need to report it to the DMV by law within a few days. Call the DMV to see if you need to report this.
You might want to get a lawyer involved here. His insurance company will reimburse you for 1) your vehicle damage and 2) your personal injury. However, they aren't going to hand over the cash and they won't offer more than they have to pay. If you want money for your car's depreciation due to the accident or if you want to raise the case of reckless driving, you will need a lawyer to walk you through that.
And since it is his fault, his insurance will pay your lawyer fees.
And like the guy said above, go get yourself checked out right away. If you wait too long, his insurance will wonder if you were even really hurt.

If you are experiencing any pain or physical issues you need to be seen by your doctor to document your injuries.
You need to be careful of the release that you sign as you need to make sure that the release is for your property damage claim and not for your personal injury claim. It is too early to resolve your personal injury claims as you have not been able to establish just what if any injuries you received.
Pm me if you need a referral to a top notch litigator to represent you...

Companies don't give a **** about emails. I bet that mail to the president got as far as his secretary, if that. You've got to show up in person (with a lawyer if possible) to really scare the bejeezus out of them. Or go to the media. ;D
