Glad the injuries are not as bad as they could have been - unfortunately it's just another of the classic cases. Even when they seem to look straight at you they sometimes don't see you at all.
Given that the other driver seems to have been negligent and the fact that your injuries are pretty severe I think the advice to get a lawyer is good.
