When it comes to pedestrian accidents, both the pedestrian and the driver have a certain responsibility to act with care and caution. In general, however, pedestrians have the right of way.
For pedestrians, these responsibilities include walking in cross-walks, crossing the street only with the "walk" signal, and avoiding interrupting the flow of traffic by darting out into the street.
Driver responsibilities include yielding to pedestrians in cross-walks, obeying speed limits, using turn signals and paying attention to road conditions, among other factors. When there are children involved, there is a higher level of responsibility placed on the driver to prevent an accident because children's actions are usually less predictable than an adult's.
