What happens if you have a collision with a pedestrian

In a cyclist-pedestrian incident who gets injured/killed is more a matter of chance than anything else. In this case, even with brakes he could just as easily have been killed, ie BOTH their heads collided, and yet there is no way she would have been prosecuted.

If pedestrians had right of way, why is there a road sign near where I used to live saying "Cyclists give way to pedestrians". If there was an automatic right of way, why the need for the sign. You can be sure that if there was a right of way they would be constantly using it.
