Yes you do want this information. Even if you don't have it you should report the accident to the police. Someone else might have seen it and gotten the plate and called it in.
A car hitting a biker is a "car" accident. If you or your bike is injured their insurance will cover you. Also if you have car insurance your carrier could have money for you should you need medical help. You insurance coverage would most likely come from under insured driver policy.
I unfortunatly know this information as a friend of mine was recently hit while on his bike. The person, who hit him, has his insurance is covering my friend's medical bills and his bike.
I hope you are OK and highly suggest you get checked out by a doc just to be safe.
