It will likely be the person making the left turn who is at fault. It is the turning driver's responsibility to make certain that the turning maneuver can be completed in a safe manner without interference with opposing traffic. WHile the other driver who hit you MAY have contributed to the accident, it was the turning driver that precipitated it.

Who is at fault if driver passed on left in left turn lane only?
The one attempting to pass on the left ... the left turn lane is for just that, left turns, never passing other cars and merging back to the right again. The police report will have that information ... providing the police were called and filled out an accident report. If not, it will be tough, if not impossible, to solve for fault.
If you are in the left hand turn lane and someone crosses over 2 lanes of traffic and hits you in the lane whose at fault?
It really depends on where they hit you and if you were moving. For example if you are stopped in the left hand lane waiting to turn (legally) and a car hits you, it is their fault. However if you are somewhere you are not supposed to be and they hit you, it is your fault for being there. It all comes down to the right of way and who has it.

if you make a left turn and there is is a collision it is YOUR fault. unless it was a green left turn arrow. the vehicle making the left MUST use caution AND give the right of way to any other vehicles, as I said before unless you have a green left turn arrow As a general rule across the U.S., anytime a motorcycle is involved in a crash with a non-motorcycle vehicle, the non-motorcycle driver will be found at fault. (check the stats).

What is the corresponding hand signal for making a left turn?
Who is at fault if driver a waiting to make left hand turn does not yield to ongoing traffic and car b hits back end o f car who and was a busy street with no lights?
It depends on what you mean by 'ongoing'. If you are waiting to make a left, the traffic moving in the opposite direction is called the oncoming traffic. If you did not yield to the oncoming traffic, or did not wait for it to clear the intersection before you turned, then you are at fault for the accident. If you are waiting to make a left and a car moving the same direction as you are facing hits you, then the car that hit you is at fault IF you were stopped and/or signaling that you were turning left. When making a left turn from the left lane, cars on your side of the road are supposed to pass your car in the lane to the right of you; if you are making a left from the only lane, the cars behind you are supposed to stop and wait for you to make the turn.
