First, I'm glad you're (mostly) OK.
Second, with respect to retaining an attorney - if you don't have permanent injuries, I would just let it go if they are fair with you. As soon as you lawyer up, you are in for a 2 year ordeal.
And I'm not bitter. Nope. Not one bit.

At least you got that. An 87 year old woman pulled head-on into me about 4 years ago. I broke my back (partially crushed T6, damaged T7) and spent 3 months in a TLSO back brace. Back pain is a way of life now. She definitely did not have to retake her driving test although she did have to go to court, where I believe she claimed that I made the whole thing up (!). I didn't have the stomach to go.The guy was an 84 year old man that said he saw us and then proceeded to pull out anyway. He said that he thought he had the right of way and couldn't believe that we hit him...WTF??? Are you kidding me? The driver was issued a summons for careless driving and will have to retake his driving test to get his license back.
