I live in Virginia which the article mistakenly claims to have legalized jaywalking. Jaywalking is still a crime in Virginia but is now only chargeable as a secondary offense. Virginia doesn't have partial liability in most civil cases. If you are partially at fault to any degree, you will not receive any damages. I know someone that was hit by a drunk speeding driver on a motorcycle but received no civil damages because they were jaywalking and therefore deemed partially responsible.

That sounds perfectly fine. Do it right, all is well. Do it wrong and cause problems you pay up for the problem you caused and for trying to pull a move your were not competent enough to pull off (jaywalking, in this case) More road rules should be like that.
