A woman I worked with got hit by a car while crossing the street in Princeton NJ. That afternoon while she was still in the hospital with a broken clavicle, the police came into her room and slapped her with a jaywalking summons.
The guy who hit her was smart enough to be proactive so he didn't set slapped with a billion dollar suit.
I'd say you'd have had a chance, but also glad you didn't hit him
