Ouch, got any pics for people to see? Or is it too painful to look at?
Where there's a blame there's a claim. I hope the back problems are only for a short time.

I bet he trys it on, you own a fast car so obviously speed everywhere. 
Best of luck sorting it
PS
If you havent got a witness, GET ONE!. Leave nothing to chance.

usually hits from the rear always end up their fault i thought
it is a pain in the ****, i had my 2nd ever car written off (fiesta
) was gutted
to make matters the worse the bloke (older gent) said i was weaving all over the road and caused the crash (as i indicated and pulled off the road to the left up my drive)
luckly for me i had an excop as a witness! or no doubt id have been shafted or a 50:50
hope you get it sorted quickly!
and remeber if they do offer you an amount for writing off the car they always seem to offer a sh*t amount first so generally dont accept the 1st offer
check around for cars close of the same age, condition etc for sale and show them how much they are going for

not sure how much you drop flogging a car cat C or whatever, could check on autotrader etc for similar models with and without crash damage heh
im sure someone here will have a good idea though
when i had the fez written off the 1st amount they offered me i snapped up foolishly
but then i had paid hardly anything for it at a car auctions
shame really as i could have got a few hundred more outta them i reckon

take no notice of the "dont claim" brigade. your injured, its not your fault. there is not a lawyer in the land that will even try get him out of that one. open and shut case.
