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
No, it is not permissible to park in an unmarked crosswalk. It is illegal and can obstruct pedestrian traffic and create safety hazards.
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.
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.

You must be at least 20 feet from the crosswalk. (§ 4179 Stopping, standing or parking.)
Bicyclists should dismount and walk their bikes when in a crosswalk or on the sidewalk to ensure pedestrian safety and follow traffic laws.
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.
If a pedestrian enters a crosswalk with a red countdown clock at 3 seconds, they are still considered to be jaywalking. Pedestrians should only enter a crosswalk when the signal is green or walk, not during the countdown phase. It is important to follow traffic signals for pedestrian safety.
