That quote is disingenuously conflating the driver's legal fault with the pedestrian's non-legal fault. The pedestrians aren't being sued for being hit.

The driver may be inconvenienced, financially impacted by repair bills or a lawsuit, or suffer minor injuries like whiplash. The pedestrian will be seriously injured or killed. This inequality is why cars basically just do what they want and it's the implicit responsibility of people walking to jump out of the way.
