When a driver accidentally strikes a pedestrian but the driver also stops at the scene to follow proper post-accident protocol the harshest consequences might be a personal injury lawsuit and a higher car insurance premium.

Is it legal to hit someone with your car. Most driveways open into the street meaning if you park in front of the driveway you are parking in a thoroughfare which is illegal because it impedes traffic. Therefore a driver has to be acting in self-defense and in fear for his life or serious bodily injury to do so. If you were in fear for your life and you ran over someone in the process of what you believed to be saving your own life you would still have to answer to this in court - if your actions were reasonable in preserving your own safety this would be recognised.

Worse if you get caught you wont just get a ticket your vehicle will be moved to clear the way. It is possible that you will go to jail but only in certain circumstances. Due to the violent nature of a speeding vehicle colliding with a human being most injuries sustained after a pedestrian accident will require expensive long-term medical care.

You can use reasonable physical force to defend your property from theft or damage. For more information see Injuries. A person who is injured in a car accident may be able to make a claim for medical expenses and compensation.

You can maybe use force if you reasonably believe that they will damage the car. You are about to negotiate with the other driver or their insurance company. If peoples mass is blocking the road collectively but not surrounding any vehicles driving and striking them would likely be illegal.

If someone else has an accident in your car you should get legal. Compensation in this case will be made in regard to medical bills incurred by the pedestrian loss of employment or wages due to the accident and pain and suffering both physical and emotional among other claims. Furthermore the law itself is not as clear on cases where individuals hit protesters blocking roads.

If you asked for someone to use your car to do something for you you may be responsible. You dont have the right to hit the car and cause damage to somebody elses property. You cant use force if they already stopped damaging it.
