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.
