Who is at fault if you hit a car that went through a yield sign then slammed on brakes?

An accident is usually the fault of the driver who was violating the law. However, other circumstances may apply. It is illegal to go through a yield sign and not yield even if you then slam on the brakes. Still, something else might apply. Courts exist to take care of such situations.

If the car merging onto a road in front of you was beyond the Yield sign and slammed on their brakes Who is at fault?
Sounds like you rear-ended them. Are you the same person who had the driver ahead "Brake aggressively" a couple of weeks ago? If the front of your car strikes the back of another and they are not in reverse, 99.99% of the time you are at fault.
Who is at fault if A is traveling straight through an intersection on a green signal and B turns left in front of A and A hits B on the right passenger side door?
B is at fault. Drivers making a turn, must yield to oncoming traffic. B is at fault for making a left turn without yielding. There is no general rule that all turning traffic must yield, although some jurisdictions may have such a specialized rule.
Who is at fault when someone backs into you while backing out of a parking space and hits you in the front right tire?
If they backed into you, it's their fault. Failure to yield.
I swerved to miss car that did not yield to oncoming traffic and hit a stop sign. Who's at fault?
you are
Who is at fault if car 1 in the far left lane on a three-lane road and car 2 in the far right speeds up to pass car 1 and make an illegal u-turn but brakes to avoid oncoming traffic and car 1 hits it?
The police will have to decide on this one because it depends how close you were when car #2 made the U-turn. If it was far enough away then both of you would be at fault. Car #1 would be at fault for "undue care and attention" and Car #2 would be at fault for making an illegal u-turn. Car 2 is at fault from enroachment into the left lane. He has not only the obligation to yield to traffic in the lane with which he wants to merge, but also the responsibility to yield to oncoming traffic. In most states, he also can't change multiple lanes at a time. Car 2 is clearly at fault.
When two lanes merge into one and there is a collision who is at fault?
The lane that goes straight through without changing is the main lane. If you merge into that lane, you have to yield to the flow of traffic. That means if your lane ends, it is you that should yeild.
Who's at fault when both drivers have the right of way and one decide to turn and they hit head on?
the person who turned is at fault because when you are turning you are to yield to any other traffic
Are you at fault if you hit a car failing to yield and taking a left turn?
Of course you are. This is no different than "Am I at fault for seeing a car coming and jumping in front of it from the sidewalk." Look before you leap.
Two ways that the theoretical yield differ from the actual yield?
A yield is received after a person does the experiment. Second, they can never be same values. We can only get close to theoretical yield but never attain similar values under normal experimental conditions.
If you are in an accident and you are issued a failure to yield right of way citation and in court the charge is dismissed can your insurance company still hold you liable as at-fault?
You do not have to be guilty of an infraction to be at fault. Driver "1" in the Police report is the "at fault" driver. Y-THINK-Y
If a car stops at a yield sign with no incoming traffic and is struck by a vehicle from the rear who is at fault?
Usually the person who is behind is at fault. The driver is to keep a safe distance at all times. Rear end collisions are 99 percent of the time the following cars fault.
Backing out of a parking space and hit a car whos at fault?
the person who crashed into you, because that person was supposed to have yield to let you pass
