It depends on where you hit the turning vehicle. You have the right of way, however, you also have a duty to take all actions to avoid an accident. If you hit the left turning car in the rear portion of the side of their vehicle, the further back you get on the car, the more percentage of liability that can be found on you. Depending on the state, your insurance company may owe the percentage you are found At Fault.

If you reach an uncontrolled intersection at the same time as a driver on your right and both of you are going to go straight who has the right of way?

Note: the law does not allow anyone the right-of-way, it only states who must yield. If two drivers arrive at an uncontrolled intersection at the same time, the driver on the left should yield to the driver on the right. When someone is legally required to yield the right-of-way and fails to yield, other drivers are required to yield for safety.
