Im not familiar with traffic markers on this street but if it is marked as legal to pass on the left then Driver A is at fault. It is the responsibility of the person turning across a lane of traffic to make sure that it is clear.
If the road is marked as no passing then driver B can be ticketed for passing in a no passing zone, but driver A still made a left hand turn across a lane of traffic before checking to make sure it was safe to do so. Im not saying they are at fault, but I can see how someone would want to bring that to litigation before just accepting fault

This is how I have always heard it explained...
If it was a legal passing zone and
Driver B had fully occupied the passing lane and
Driver A did not signal properly then...
Driver A could be found at fault. Like many laws, little things can change who is at fault.
If driver B was just straddling the center line then he would be at fault. If driver A properly signaled then Driver B could be at fault.
This is why one should always signal. But then you have to prove you signaled.
