I am sorry to hear that this happened. Yes, you should see a doctor, especially if the toe is still very painful.

You can remove the portions of the nail that are loose on your own. If you see purulence, increased redness, increased pain and swelling, you may have an infection and might consider seeing a specialist. But, in general, a subungual hematoma will heal on its own.
