Legal Question in Traffic Law in Illinois
I was in a parking lot and was traveling down the middle of the lane. Cars are parked on both sides not on angles. I was attempting to turn right into a parking spot and a car who driver was impatient unknowing to me was attempting to pass me on the right hitting my passenger side front tire. I did not use my signal to indicate that I was going to park. Who is at fault in this situation. Me for not using my turn signal or the driver attempting to pass a car who is attempting to park.

Why were you in the middle or left? Other than that, with these clarifications if it is clear the other car hit you and not the other way around, all other things being equal the other car would be responsible. But don't count on that car's insurance to agree.
