        Hey everyone, I was returning home at night when a guy suddenly started crossing the road and when I stopped he stopped and again sped up when I accelerated.He got hit by my car and I immediately rushed him to the hospital where I paid the bills for tests and met with the doctors who said this will be a police case. I gave them my phone number and address and left from there. The hospital called me after sometime asking me to come back to the hospital but I asked them to communicate the issue on call.They asked me to pay the amount for icu which I did.
        Later at night I received a phone call from police regarding the case where they asked where the incident happen and my details. Now the area was not lit and I don’t think there was any cctv camera nor I have a dash cam. What should I do to protect myself from here on?Also implications if he dies in hospital after a week or few days after?

        Note:- He was responding to nurses and the hospital seem to be way to casual about this.

          This sounds serious bro—**consult a criminal lawyer ASAP.**
          Even if the guy was drunk, without CCTV or witnesses, it can get tricky—especially if anything happens to him later.
          Keep records of everything: bills, calls, receipts, and stay cooperative with the police. Don’t ignore this thinking it’ll blow over.

            You stopped but accelerated so fast that almost killed the pedestrian?

            Doesn’t that particular cumstances dictate you to be cautious/slow ?

                Yes, I did get my speed slow, but he kind of jumped on my car .. I have no proof, but he sure was deliberately trying to get hit.
