And if you're in a city or town, especially business area, look for security cameras. And don't wait or expect the police to do this for you.
On the security cameras, you need to get your lawyer to secure the footage ASAP. It's typically erased in under two weeks.
I know attorneys in Atlanta if you need help here.

I'll add to this - if you are involved in a bicycling accident and have the slightest inkling that you might need a lawyer -- talk with one sooner rather than later. Maybe even if you think you don't need one.
Many lawyers give initial consultations without charge - enough to help you decide if you need counsel and if that lawyer is the right one to help you. A phone call early on might be very helpful in the long run.
