My two sons (11 & 9) were crossing the street outside of the crosswalk and were hit by a car. My eldest suffered from a huge hematoma on his head and a couple of scrapes and bruises. The police report shows that my sons were the cause of the accident for "running out in the street". Now the driver is asking that we pay for damages to their car. Is this legal and do we have any recourse? We were under the impression that the pedestrian has the right of way, even if not in a crosswalk. We were actually hoping to seek compensation for the medical bills (ambulance, ER stay, etc.)
