Yours, unless no one is around. Then, you can hit them again and go home. Haha. Just kidding. It's always their fault.

By "Legal" standards,the authorities will say you. You would be cited with "Failure to maintain control of vehicle".Regardless of their stupidity,you get the fall.Try not to make it fatal,unless you plan on taking a vehicular manslaughter.Those people need some type of pedi-airbags? I'm only dreaming' Cowboy

The driver is always considered to be responsible to maintain control of the vehicle.
-
it should be pedestrian's fault. He/she could've seen the car comin if not then there's always a rule to follow before crossing the road. However I don't what cops would consider
-
I would think it would be their fault. Unless if they were crossing at a crosswalk then they might have some rights, because you can't argue "jaywalking"
-
If they can hit you at more than walking speed, then surely you must have been travelling too fast to react within your field of view. (Having said that, how far could you get driving at the safest speed in an urban area.)
