his belief is that this is not technically a car accident since no other car was involved...and plans to plead innocent... what do you think his chances are of the judge smacking him upside his head?

Probably about the same as the chances of people answering this seriously getting smacked upside the head! lol

The chances of him getting "smacked upside the head" or fines and jail time are excellent.
1. It was a car accident since he was driving a car [it sounds like.]
2. Choosing to hit a pedestrian instead of a car is an incredibly stupid defense. Pedestrians don't have steel, plastic and airbags around them for protection.
Keep this person off the road until he has wised up. That would probably take forever.

Maybe he should have said if he struck the car more than one pedestrian would have been hurt. Was there a lot of traffic around? Because if there was there could have been like a three or four car accident instead of one.

i am hoping you've coverage and if so, document a declare A S A P. you be conscious a pedestrian attempting to bypass, and particularly of preventing, you decelerate???? and then you state, he's at fault? Your bumper hit his leg/knee and limping later on and also you declare he jumped into your automobile causing his own injuries. In 10 years of dealing with vehicle claims, I had 2 circumstances the position someone deliberately walked right into a automobile causing their own injuries, yet we were able to teach it, on condition that that they had finished this earlier with different organizations. yet maximum in all probability, it really is a valid declare. The EMS, ER, ER health practitioner and maximum in all probability X rays were taken on the ER. so that you're going to owe for those medical costs. If extra extreme, then you definately will owe for the different stick with up remedy. Get the picture? If no coverage, they are going to flow when you in my opinion and would sue you or garnish any wages until eventually paid off. strong success

A very good chance. He was better off hitting the car instead of the pedestrian.

I think its a sad accident.......Kind of sad to avoid hitting the car he struck the pedestrian....call me crazy, but id rather damage my car then risk killing an innocent human being.....I'd say he's in a bit of trouble......And YES ...this is a car accident....doesn't matter if he hit another car.....he was driving a car....any accident that happens while you are driving your car is considered a car accident.

He was in a car, he had an accident - yes, it's a car accident. The judge will not be impressed by his attempt to evade his responsibility for his action.

The judge will probably charge him with failure to control. You hit a car.... not a person
