angelonawire,
hope you get well soon, best wishes.
I don't think I could appear quite as calm as you seem to under the circumstances. I'm sure you should be able to instigate an AAIB investigation as this doesn't sound like an incident to me, personal injury and a/c damage was caused and therefore it should be classed as an accident.
I hope all turns out well for you and that a amicable solution comes your way.
I have the greatest respect for you SAR guys having had a small taste of it myself and have a number of mates in the Mil SAR world.
Once again best wishes and speedy recovery
