This is another reason why you should have a Time Machine backup. It is easy to recover files like this from your Time Machine backup.
If you don’t backup, then your options are limited. You could use a program like http://macmost.com/filesalvage.html to try to get it back, but it is a long shot. Every second that goes by increases the chances that the data is being overwritten on your hard drive.
