Take a deep breath. Did you feel a thud? If you didn't, you didn't hit him. Does he have bruises on the whole side where you would have hit him? If he doesn't, you probably didn't hit him.

Okay, if you believe you can fight this ticket, etc and avoid a future possible lawsuit by the guy you supposedly hit, then you should fight this ticket.

But may I suggest you at least speak with an accident attorney in your state to help you.

Try attorneypages.com or call the state bar association in your state and ask for lawyer referral.
