Forensics should tell the story. They can tell speeds from tire marks and the patterns in the damage, assuming the cops don't have the car fixed without documenting the damage on it. If you were traveling "fast" on the bike you should be able to see clear horizontal scratches in the front of the cop (I'm assuming he "t-boned you"). If you were driving slow there would just be impact marks.
Given the mass differential between a bike and car tire tracks may not say much, however the final resting place of the bike will. Again, you miving at high speeds the bike will be to the side and front of the car. If you were traveling slow it will be relatively in front.
Good luck and I hope you recover both physically and mentally.
