First find out how many points it is. Search the Intraweb for your states DMV or police site to find that out. Theres a good chance (being your first ticket and somewhat of an accident) they'll let you bargain down to less or zero points, even without a lawyer. If you end up getting points, find out if your state has a driver improvement program. This usually involves taking a day long class to get 2-3 points off your license.
I wouldn't worry to much, most of us "driving enthusiasts" would kill to be in your situation. Like me: 16 points (soon to be 13) 3 license suspensions, $3500 a year insurance.....
