On Jan 14, I was making a right turn onto a main street, there were a lot of cars going in both directions and when there was finally an opening for me to turn right, I didn't see a girl crossing the street and accidently hit her. I immediately braked and asked if she was okay, she looked at me and kept walking. But she came back and asked me to take her to her trainer at the recreation center (she turns out to be a BBplayer). I dropped her off, got her name and gave her my contact info. This whole time she was conscious, walking, talking, she said she just came back from physical therapy when she crossed the street. she told me her legs still feel numb from the ice but it didn't hurt as much. She today messages me on a online student "friendster"-type site to tell me she lost my phone number and that she actually had to go to the hospital that day. She needed my contact info and insurance information. I saw her on campus a week after the incident and she seemed fine, walking and talking (and looks like she's still playing bball). I didn't file a report that day (though I should have, I wasn't thinking), with the police or my insurance company, I don't know if she did, but I'm guessing not since she needs my contact information and she didn't have it.
So, I want to know where do i go from here? How much will I be sued? Will my insurance cover me at all since i failed to report it? The DMV in CA also requires a report if there was any injury in 10 days, I don't believe either of us filed that report and it has passed 10 days. What to do in this matter?
Thank you very much!
