That depends on who was in the lane of travel, and who was in the merge lane. The merge lane is the one required to yield to the travel lane. If the vehicle in the merge lane failed to yield the right-of-way, that'll definitely be a factor.

However, other factors may apply, as well. Motorists have a bad tendency to want to suddenly speed up and pass a merging vehicle when they see a turn signal. Excessive speed/reckless driving on the part of one or both drivers will play a factor in determining fault, as well. In short, one would have to know all the details of the situation you described in order to determine whose at fault.

Who is at fault The car turning onto the road in the right lane or the car in the left lane that merged into the right lane?

This depends upon where you were struck exactly. Did they hit you on the rear end, side, or front? Damages tell alot about an accident and the fault determination. If you were rear-ended on the ramp then the other party is generally 100% at fault, unless you were negligent and stopped very suddenly instead of continuing with the flow of traffic. This should be discussed with police and your insurer in this case. I may be reading the question wrong, but I think you mean one vehicle was entering the highway from the onramp and the other was already on the highway. In this case, there is (almost) no doubt that the merging driver is at fault.

Who is at fault if you hit a car from behind that was stopped with a flat tire on the fast lane after a curve?

The person who rear-ended the stalled car is at fault. As a driver you are always required to be able to stop your car for the most unexpected situation. This means that if you need to slow down going around a corner because you never know what might be in the middle of the road then that is what you do.
