This should be taken care of by your insurance carrier. If you are contactedin anyway about this accident, you should immediately let them know. I am presuming you hvae insurance in and if you haven't already, you should immediately advise them that the accident happened.
As for assets, it really depends on how badly the person was hurt and how much insrance coverage you have for the accident.
there is a 2 year statute of limitations on personal injury claims in NJ. that means the pedestrian woudl have to file a complaint in the Courts of NJ prior to the expiration of the 2 year period which began to run on the date of accident. I am also presuming the person you hit with your car was over the age of 18 in telling you about that 2 year statute of limitations.
