Thank you for this answer.

Astroglide, I am sure this is what you would have jumped up and done had this happened to you.

Re: i got hit by a car while crossing the street
 

okay

i went to emergency, i'm fine. i just have an abrasion on my elbow and some bruising on my thigh. i'm in british columbia, so there's no way i'm getting any money out of his insurer for this (we have a crown corporation that insures all drivers in the province). should i file a police report anyways? just so it's on record?

and yes, i should have called the police when it happened, but i wasn't really thinking straight. i don't really have a lot of experience with getting hit by cars.

unless you needed an ambulance I doubt the police would've actually shown up considering the other driver was facilitating an exchange of info..

i have no clue about da canadian ins industry

What's the problem exactly? It sounds to me like you handled this in a civilized manner. Get a checkup, send the guy the bill, and forget about it.

the problem as I see it is that when you run over a freaking pedestrian in a crosswalk you shouldn't get off with a "my bad"
