Just tonight after work. I was walking my way home when I saw this car driving out of a parking lot. I didn't stop walking because there was a crosswalk and a stop sign right before it, but this car's driver didn't see me 'coz it was too dark, so he drove ahead and hit me. I fell on my knees. The car stopped, and when the driver stepped out of the car, I saw that it was my supervisor! He's the coolest and my most favorite person at work, so when he was already about to dial an ambulance, I stopped him because I didn't want him to get in trouble and I was fine anyway. I just hurt my knees. He was already about to cry because he thought it would seem like he did "hit and run" if he didn't get me an ambulance but I assured him I was okay and just gave him a hug. He then dropped me off at my apartment.
Do you guys think I did the right thing? And how do you think it would affect our relationship at work? Please advise.

hello crimson,
I don't think it will affect the relationship between you and your supervisor.
But i guess you need to check on yourself too.
Sometimes health issues arise later ,i just hope you are not badly hurt.
The impact can not be measured by pain.
You might feel alright today,but keep aware once you feel pain in your body.
have a great weekend

You're welcome. You know what, my right leg (the one hit) hurts at night and whenever I stand for long periods. :( Do you think I should tell my supervisor?

i am not scaring you dear,
but sometimes we need to be careful esp when it comes to our health.
if you are feeling pain,it's better to have it checked while it's early.
nothing's wrong for being extra careful

The problem is you both might get into trouble if someone saw it. I don't know about the rules of your area, but in some areas not reporting an accident is a crime. You might want to check with the local laws.
I doubt if it would hurt your relationship at work unless he thinks that you might use it to get one over on him then he would bow down to everything you want. Not the way I'd like to work. He doesn't seem like that type of guy.

This is quite a plight to have. It's bad enough to be hit by a car. I sincerely hope that you were not badly injured in your accident. It's even more traumatic when your boss is the one who caused your accident. I hope it doesn't change things for you in your job except to make them better. I hope your boss shows some remorse for what has happened. @themoneyblogger (141)

I think you did a very good deed. Who Knows? Anything may not have been favorable like him getting a fine due to outstanding warrants or even go to jail. Sometimes the smallest things can ruin your life. Just think about the lady who drove drunk and killed a child. Your situation isn't as serious, but she had a perfectly clean record and now she lost her job and is going, or in, prison.
Happy myLotting

Well you this shows that you considerate and care about him. And him wanted to call the ambulance also shows that he is considerate and caring. You weren't seriously hurt so their was nothing wrong with what you did. i don't think it would affect your relationship at work but it might bring you two closer.

I think the fault was really the driver's but since nice enough to really help you and everything I think you did the right thing. Lets' just hope that this experience had taught both of you a lesson- always look before you cross and follow the signs.

If you are looking for favoritism at work, then I think you are wrong here. Yes, he might feel guilty for the moment and grateful that you did not report him, but once that wear off, he will be back to normal. If you were on good terms prior to the accident, then things should be good. If not, then dont have too much of a high hope that things will be better from now on.
