A is approaching an intersection and has the right of way. He is signaling a right turn. B is stopped at the intersection. Seeing A's right turn signal, B proceeds through the intersection but A does not stop, and hits B. Who is at fault?

Your insurance provider is about to raise your rates.

Legally B.
Insurance will probably fight it out and assign some blame to A, but not much.
Assumes no drugs or alcohol involved

Purely hypothetical. No accident occurred

B is at fault.

I thought so but wasn't sure.

B is at fault. He has the responsibility of stopping until traffic is clear.

To many variables your scenario is to ambiguous. Is b to the right, ahead, or left of a? Is it a four way stop?

I was 'B' at one point in my life( 17 years old).
'A' had an unrestrained infant in the car.
I made a comment towards that when we all got out. 'A' turned it into a hit and run. I got the frick out of their and bought a new bumper cover for $125.

No it isn't.

Not really. I'd want to know the location of the next right turn after the intersection though.
I'd assign A about 30%, depending on how close the next turn is, and B about 70% for failing to yield.
Eta: I can't even give A 30...more like 15.

Oy vey..ha. Smh.
An interesting one I nvr forget learning in an accident when a teen was the inability to change lanes while driving thru an intersection. Car B turning on red, and side swiping me. Damn "technicalities". Ha

This sounds like Siegen @ Reiger Rd.

Another consideration: good chance it’s not going to be fun proving he was signaling turn even if true.
Posted on 3/15/19 at 10:35 pm to Jim Rockford
Generally speaking, drivers have a duty to keep a proper lookout and to do everything within reason to avoid or mitigate damage. If it was fully unavoidable then 100% fault B. But say there were witnesses that specifically contend A could have but didnt avoid the accident (very fact specific) then percentages of fault of each COULD come into play. Not necessarily a zero sum game.

Is this a 4-way stop? because

B is stopped at the intersection
If so B has the ROW.
If not then

A is for being a douchebag and not knowing how to drive

Can't you just draw us a picture?

Is this part of the Rockford Files?

B is at fault.
As far as the law is concerned, blinkers are an indication of turning, but no law says you have to turn if you have your blinker activated.
B shall receive a failure to yield to right of way vehicle A.
