Always yield to pedestrians. If you hit one, you have almost no chance of getting off the hook. Even if it's not your fault, it'll be tough.

If you are backing out of a driveway and a car hits you who is liable?
Anytime a vehicle is departing private property and entering a road, it must yield the right-of-way to traffic. The liability is with the backing driver until the backing vehicle is fully into the road. The vehicle already in the road must still take all prudent steps to avoid a collision where possible. If either vehicle is operated in an unsafe manner, the liability will be assigned accordingly.
