In many (all?) states, pedestrians have the right-of-way, even if they're jaywalking.

Jaywalking means they were walking when they did not have the right of way.

However, whether or not a driver is civilly liable for an accident usually doesn't even care about the right of way. For example, if a pedestrian is standing in the middle of the road attempting to block traffic. They have no right to be there, however, it is not ok to run them over.
