How can I be at fault?

I was coming home from work and it was raining moderately. I was at the corner of Street B turning right off of Street A at the same time I was coming up to Street B another car was coming from the opposite way turning left on to the Street B, while he was waiting for me to turn right into the street another car hit him from behind the car was changing lanes to avoid waiting behind him, I see that the car was hit. I turn into Street B and turn out to Street A, while I was in the process of coming out of Street B I go to turn left at the same time I am about to turn left traffic from both sides of the road were coming so I stoped to let them pass (this is a 4 lane road) while I was stopped a little away from the stop sign on Street B a car approaching from the left lane where the previous car was hit. the driver thinks that I am in the middle of the road approaching her lane and moves to the far right lane. The car makes it to the right lane sees the cars from the previous accident parked and slows down ( She didn't slam on her breaks because there were no screeching and no skid marks) while in the process of moving to the right lane another car from behind rear ends her while this was happening I didn't even cross the street until after they hit each other.



The driver was rear ended claims that she moved over to avoid hitting me (when I know I wasn't there and non of the drivers saw me there)



The police officer is claiming that I was at fault for the second accident she told me I made a illegal U-turn over a solid yellow line. She issued me a ticket for ';Improper change of course'; while taking pictures after their accidents I come to find out that the road I turned into had no lines at all and I stopped at the stop sign before turning left back onto the road. which is a legal turn.



Also I know that I wasn't in the lady's lane because cars were passing in front of me and the lady even said that cars were passing me. My car is a decent size (2008 Hyundai Elentra).



If it were true that I was in her lane then I would have been blocking two lanes and no cars could get around me. Also the guy that hit her said that he never saw me at all until I was pulled behind his car after the accident.





I currently have a court date on May 18th I'm fighting the ticket and for them claiming I'm at fault for their accident that happened May 8th.



How can I be At-Fault for their accident when I know I wasn't where the lady thought I was because they hit each other before they even passed me and I wasn't in their accident?How can I be at fault?
well without a drawing of the intersection it's hard to see what happened.



but If you were turning left you'll have a tough time explaining how it's not your fault.



you should make posters or charts of the intersection to bring with you.



and you might want to consult a lawyer before going to trial.How can I be at fault?
You're going to court so you can give your opinion.



Everyone involved gets their say. If the jury decide that after hearing all the evidence it was your fault, you're screwed.
Go to court and plead not guilty then when you go back to court and explain it to the judge, hopefully the judge will rule not guilty.
Very confusing. You really need a hand drawn diagram. But as near as I can figure, you're NOT at fault. Forget about what the policeman has to say! He was not a witness, and he can do is base an opinion based on others and their story/testimony. 3 or 4 party accidents are always time consuming and a headache. And insurance companies know this. They will probably get together and decide to settle up with all. Providing there were no bodily injuries. If there were, that's another story! Good Luck. ps: It's really not your headache anyway. Your insurance HAS to interpose a defense for you. But if you didn't have insurance, they're going to hang you. For Sure.
