Hit by a car whilst crossing a crosswalk/zebra crossing
Hi all im not from australia, so im not too familiar w the laws around here. I am an international student, and was walking across a crosswalk when i was hit by a car (going ~50-60kmh). When i came to, the ambulance was called and i didnt manage to get the drivers license plate and contact information, and his windshield was cracked from the impact.
I will admit that i was calling someone while crossing the crosswalk but i remember making eye contact w the vehicle before i crossed and i (stupidly) assumed he would slow down.
Apparently police was called but im not sure if they know whether to contact me since i was in the ambulance already. Ive been in hospital for a few days, with fractures on my collarbone, pelvis, and spine.
Just wondering what are my next steps? Who do i contact etc? Is he liable for my medical fees?
