Wow, I'm very relieved to know you weren't seriously injured. Definitely get a police report if you haven't already. Some guilty driver is out there, and he/she is resposible for the damages to you and your bike. I wasn't seriously injured in my bike accident last May, but I was surprised to see how fast the medical bills stacked up. Then after a week, my back acted up and I needed some physical therapy. If I hadn't had medical insurance, I'd be in an incredible amount of debt now.
I didn't even consider what the accident did to my mental state until I tried to ride again. I wouldn't ride on the road for a month because of fear. Every loud noise made my fast beating heart beat even faster. Even when I was driving my car I would stay clear of trucks towing trailers, and as I passed I would scrutinize the connection of the tow hitch. (For those who don't now, I was hit by a trailer than came unhitched)
Please don't let fear seize you up. I had to repeat to myself. "It's all it your head. It was just freak accident."
