Seems like you did the 'idiot' driver a massive favor by avoiding him/his car and plowing into the sidewalk instead.
I think you are getting railed on because you put your car or other drivers before the safety of pedestrians. In an accident no one has time to see if the sidewalk is clear.
Sounds like your susp. is pretty messed up, but the lesson here maybe is pedestrians before cars? People in cars are protected by a steel cage at least.
