    Default Accident at an Intersection With a Turning Car

    My question involves a traffic accident in the State of: New Jersey

    I was behind a car that was stopped at a stop sign, with their left blinker on, and I pulled up to the right to make a right turn, came to a stop, and then the other driver decided to make a right turn, and without looking (visibly had a piece of paper in front of their face) turned right into the driver side of my car....she was stopped when i pulled up on the right, and I was stopped when I was hit...

    were you each in separate lanes?

    Technically there is only one lane going in our direction

    so, you drove outside of the lane and put yourself in the way of the legal traffic flow, right?

    while I suspect they might be ticketed for failure to signal, I see your action as what caused the accident. If you had remained within the legal driving lane, this would not have happened, regardless of what the other driver did.

    It is illegal to go around a car if there is one lane of traffic. If a cop sees you, they will ticket you and yes.. you were in the wrong. In court, you will be at fault.
