Woah, steady on Chuck Norris.
I'd say whomever hit you will be getting a careless driving causing injury charge.
Chances are, they may lose their licence and have to pay a little fine.
No jail time, you'd have to kill 17 people or one with a race card to get jail here.

Good find

interesting to see that there is possible jail time (won't happen in this case, I put $2.30 on it)

I'm guessing english is not your first language so maybe that's why you are taking offence to every post?

My 5 cents
Make sure the cop who is doing the file gets a list of your injuries (from your GP) and the cost of damage to the scoot, your safety gear, medical expenses, time off work and insurance excess to add some weight to what the driver has done rather than it being presented in court as a simple spill. Always have the job number on hand when making contact with the police.
