You should first apologize to the pedestrian and offer assistance if necessary. You should also contact your insurance company to report the incident, cooperate with any internal investigation and fully document the incident. You may wish to consult an attorney experienced in dealing with legal repercussions of an automotive accident, as well as any appropriate action by local law enforcement.
