Legal Question in Traffic Law in California

Whose fault is this?

I was driving down an expressway and

turning left at a light. There was one car

ahead of me at the time. When the light

turned green we both started to go he

unexpectly stopped to turn an

immediate left into his driveway (his

house was on the corner) crossing a

double line. My car was in the

intersection when this was happening I

slammed on the brakes but still hit the

car. I know that the driver in back is

usually at fault but there is no way I

could have told he was turning and my

car was in the intersection still coming

out a turn. Whose fault is this?

Re: Whose fault is this?

Typically, if you have an accident with someone that is breaking the traffic laws they will be, at least partially, at fault.
