11-1008. Right-of-way on sidewalks. The driver of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way to any pedestrian on a sidewalk.
Each state in the U.S. has its own set of regulations governing pedestrian right-of-way. For example, California law states that drivers must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians crossing the roadway within any marked or unmarked crosswalk at an intersection.
All states except Maine and Michigan require vehicles to yield to a pedestrian who has entered an unmarked crosswalk. To gain the right-of-way in some parts of Canada, however, the pedestrian holds out his hand in a position much like that used to shake hands, and steps off the curb.
The driver (in most cases) will report the collision to their insurance company. Pedestrians, if injured, will make a claim against the driver's insurance company. Fortunately, Illinois requires drivers to carry liability insurance.
If You Hit Someone Jaywalking, Who Is at Fault in California? Under California's pure comparative negligence law, a jaywalker injured while crossing illegally shares fault for the incident. The jury may assign more fault to the driver or the jaywalker depending on the driver's actions at the time.
A driver must come to a complete stop (and yield): When a pedestrian is in a marked crosswalk. On school days, when children are in close proximity to a school zone crosswalk. A driver must yield to a pedestrian.

The first car to arrive always receives the right of way. If you arrive at the same time as another driver, the one who's farthest to the right gets the right of way. If three vehicles arrive at the same time, the rule of “right-most has the right of way” still holds, and the car farthest left goes last.
