You may be able to avoid punishment if you take steps to make sure the pedestrian is okay. If the pedestrian is not seriously injured, you should provide your contact information and insurance information to the victim and call the police immediately to report the accident. Depending on how serious the accident is, you may be able to avoid criminal charges or financial penalties through an auto insurance claim instead of court.
