when a green arrow points to the left :]
When you are turning left as directed by a traffic signal left turn arrow.
If it is a protected turn, then turn. If it is not a protected turn, wait for the oncoming traffic to clear and then turn.
Yes.unless you have a protected left turn such as with a green arrow.
It's really situation dependent. If the car which collided cross the intersection on a green light or a protected left turn (a green arrow), then they had the right-of-way. If that driver ran a stop light or sign, or failed to yield right-of-way when they didn't have a protected left turn, they'd be liable.
Unfortunately, no real stats on this are available, except to say that it's a rather common thing.

It is a left turn where the turning driver must yield to oncoming traffic entering a cross-streets intersection because there is no left left turn signal facing that left-turning driver during which a red light stops oncoming traffic to protect the left turning vehicle. This holds in keep-to-the-right countries. For keep-to-left countries, there are, sometimes, protected right turns.
A left turn made on a green arrow indicates that drivers have a protected turn, meaning they can turn left without yielding to oncoming traffic or pedestrians. The green arrow signals that it is safe to proceed, as other vehicles are typically stopped by red lights. However, drivers should still be cautious and watch for any potential hazards, such as pedestrians or cyclists in the intersection.
Turn left or (slang) take a left
"Protected left on green arrow" refers to a traffic signal that allows vehicles to make a left turn while oncoming traffic is stopped. When the green arrow is displayed, drivers have the right of way to turn left without the risk of conflicting traffic. This signal provides a safer and more efficient way for vehicles to navigate intersections, reducing the chances of accidents. It's important for drivers to remain vigilant and ensure the intersection is clear before proceeding.
