Legal Question in Traffic Law in Virginia

Police Officer T Bones me

Hello I was at an intersection going north bound that had red blinking lights. I stopped at the intersection and began to proceed. The traffic going East to West had yellow blinking lights. As I began to cross the intersection an unmarked vehicle heading west T boned the back end of my vehicle causing me to spin out 3 times and land on the side walk in front of someones yard. He was in a residential neighborhood going over 40 mph. He had yellow lights which I thought meant that he was supposed to slow down but many witnesses have stated that he picked up speed. I believe that he may have came from the parking lot inside of the community because he was not on the road when I began to pull off from the red light. The road way was two lanes on each side and I was almost through the intersection going around 10 mph. I have a swollen leg, cuts on my face, and back pain. My vehicle is a total loss. Is it automatically ''my fault'' or do I have a fighting chance with a good lawyer. The police did not give me an accident report or anything. They wanted to give me a summons for not yield but I refused to sign it and they made me go to jail for about 15 minutes and instead gave me a subpoena. I plan on getting a lawyer should I?
