I have no idea who would win in court, but I know who's going to lose on the street.
if there is daylight, the pedestrian has a walk/flashing signal & the vehicle making the turn has a permitted traffic signal, the driver of the vehicle should be found as at fault.
If the cyclists is going thru the green light & the left turning vehicle has a flashing yellow & then hits the cyclist, it is the vehicle's fault for poor judgement when determining a turn is safe to proceed.
