What is the name of your state? California
I was in my first car accident tonight. I was going about 25 miles down a busy street when the car in front of me stopped suddenly. I braked but it was too late and I hit. It wasn't too bad of a hit, kind like bumper cars. We both pulled over, and I got out with my three friends also in the car. I went over to the car and the women inside looked like she was in shock and very distressed.
Luckily, no one was hurt. The women explained that someone jumped out of the street into the cross walk in front of her. She said that it wasn't my fault. She got out of the car and we both looked at the damage, but found that there was hardly a few scratches on her car, and a bent license plate on mine. The women still seemed very shocked and upset, but not angry.
She talked a little about calling the police and her husband but no one called. She then asked for my friend to call her daughter. There was no answer so my friend left a short message saying that her mom was in a accident and she'd be over soon, also that she was okay. Basically that was it and we left. The women was almost in tears the whole time and so was I! We didn't engage names or numbers or anything.
There was no damage but I'm in so much fear still. If this gets reported my parents will for sure take away my car. I am still worried that when she comes out of shock she'll want to contact me. All she has is my friend's cell phone number on her daughter's answering machine.
I don't know I guess I'm just still shaken up about everything. Can she legally pursue me still? What do you think would happen? Any advice would be wonderful. I don't really know what to expect.
