As a bicycle, the braking system is not as good as automobile, thus it's absolutely legal and understandable that a bike run a yellow light at a relatively low speed ( compared to a car).
2, For any car facing a green light, especially a light turns just from red to green, the car should: a. Make sure the road is clear; b. Go and cross the intersection. Obviously, the car which hit you did NOT follow this law, the driver did not pay attention to the road status. This is very serious for a driver.
3, As a cyclist in your then situation, what you can do to avoid the collision is very very limited. In fact I don't think you should take even 1% of fault.
Don't be afraid of facing the police and the court. I also suggest you to ask for compensation for your injury. You will WIN the case.
Another important point is, your bicycle should be in good and legal status. Check this link for details. If necessary, repair you bike as soon as possible.
