What is the name of your state? california
I was walking to the driver's side of my car a couple of days ago, when suddenly an woman in an SUV backed up quickly in reverse and hit me in the back and knocked me over very hard. It felt like a very bad bicycle fall, but with a much greater force, like a refrigerater falling on top of you from 20 ft up. I was bruised on both arms and knees and aching, people were shouting there was a lot of confusion, and then the lady got out of her car and asked me if I was ok, and I said I was, and then she got in her SUV and left. So I drove myself to the emergency room, after going home for a little bit, and calling a friend. but I had to return to the scene to get something that had been knocked out of my hand. I was at the emergency room for several hours, and the doctor called the police, but they told me to come in the next day and make a report. I just feel achy all over. but the next day I managed to go to the police station and file a report. someone at the scene had written down her license plate number, most of it that I could remember, because I was kind of in a daze, and gave me their number as a witness. which I gave to the police. I don't know if the police will be able to trace the the woman, because I wasn't sure of the last two numbers of the plate. I was pretty shook up and alone, so i didn't handle it very well. I am concerned about the emergency room bills since I had a cat scan. it really taught me a lesson, I hope I am never in that situation again, but I shouldn't have just let the woman take off like that. It was just an accident, but this has been hard for me to do all these things and I have been laid up for two days. Do you think it is a more serious offense since the lady just left like that? would her insurance be able to cover any bills from the hospital?
