What do you do if you get hit by a car?

[Chongqing]

I almost got hit by a car crossing the street today, and this question struck me. What should I have done if I did get hit?

Let's say I was mostly ok, but pretty bruised up. I imagine I'd have to get the driver's license and insurance information. Do you just take a photo with your phone and walk away? What's the actual protocol?

The more I thought about it, the more I thought I'd need to call an older relative to ask what to do.

What do you all think?

Well if you get hit and they try and drive away do your best to get a photo but chances are you won't get your phone out in time.
Call the police, you were just involved in a hit and run, that's a felony.
You may feel fine, but adrenaline is a hell of a thing, go to a hospital, even if you don't have insurance, go.
Pray that they catch the person and they're rich with insurance.

Giving me flashbacks to the time I nearly got hit by a Car back in 2013 because I was too stupid to pay attention to the crosswalk signs.

Photograph or write down the license plate number and sue the driver for attempted murder.
