you could probably get charged with "reckless driving" along with hitting a pedestrian on a crosswalk. It depends if it was considered "hit and run", if it was your fine could probably go up by $100-$300.
The answer depends somewhat on the state you are in and the law in that state. In California you could get a ticket for not stopping for a pedestrian in a crosswalk.
Like a crosswalk-for persons on foot.
strictly speaking it is legal for an pedestrian to cross a roadway outside of a crosswalk, when he crosses the road at residential area which is non artillery or main road. hari
Crossing a road without a crosswalk is dangerous and illegal. If a pedestrian is knocked down at a non-residential area that does not have a crosswalk, the driver is not at fault.
Yes, it is illegal to park in an unmarked crosswalk. Blocking a crosswalk obstructs pedestrian pathways and can create a safety hazard for those crossing the street. It is important to park in designated areas to ensure pedestrian safety.

Failing to yield for a pedestrian is an infraction, and the MAXIMUM fine for an infraction in CA is $250. However, unless this was an aggravated case (where, say, the pedestrian was struck by the car), the fine would probably be much less. The bad news is that the State has imposed so-called penalties and assessments on top of the base fine, which roughly triples the amount. So if the Court fines you $100, you will pay about $300.
You must be at least 20 feet from the crosswalk. (§ 4179 Stopping, standing or parking.)
If you were walking on the crosswalk and if you were not at fault, the driver should be responsible for covering the cost of damages... assuming you were not doing anything wrong like not walking on the crosswalk, or walking on the crosswalk when it says not to...

The violation fee for crossing the crosswalk in Massachusetts can vary depending on the specific circumstances and whether it is a civil or criminal offense. Generally, the fine can range from $100 to $200 for pedestrian violations, such as crossing against the traffic signal or failing to yield to vehicles. However, it is best to consult the Massachusetts General Laws or contact the local law enforcement agency for the most accurate and up-to-date information on violation fees.
