Absolutely. It doesn't matter whose fault it is when you are dead. A couple of years back I wanted to walk over a crosswalk. The pedestrian traffic light was green. I looked left and right, saw a car approaching quickly, and stopped. The car ran the red light, drove over the crosswalk, and hit two crossing cars before crashing into a building on the other side of the road. The driver must have missed the red light. Never assume that other people see you, never assume other drivers are as alert as you are, always be defensive, yield when you are unsure if the situation is safe, especially when you are vulnerable (pedestrian or biker vs. car).
