i cannot answer specifically to WI, but have handled many many claims (mostly) where the pedestrian or bike rider is at fault......just by virture of being a pedestrian doesn't obsolve them of negligence/liability.......... it all depends on where the ped. was facts surrounding the loss....for instance you are driving down and road, and from no where some one darts into your path, or even runs into the side of your vehicle..........how could you have prevented this? see? ............more information surrounding the accident and i could be of more assistance...of course we always yield to ped. but that doesn't mean that they are always faultless.....
