Default So who is at fault for this accident

My daughter was driving down the street and approached an itersection.
There is no stop sign at this intersection and this is a blind
intesection. She proceeded to take a left at the intersectin and
there was no visual traffic coming. when she was 1/2 thru, she saw a
car coming and the other party sweved over to the left side of the
road to avoid my daughter (instead of simply stopping) and hit my
daughter's car broadside.

I would think that since the bumper of the oher persons car hit my
daughter broadside then the other party would be responsible
Any oppinions here?

cross intersection or T? If the latter, where was she? Are there *any*
stop signs at this intersection? What state?

It was a T intersection. My daughter was at the bottom of the T
going up and the other party going left to right on the top of the T

No stop signs and we are in Masachusetts.

Why do you think Im a troll? I'm simply asking an oppinion about this
accident that could cost me a fortune if my daughter is found at
fault. I recently posted about the bent wheel on the Grand Marquis.
I know what trolls are, they are jerks and I don't consider myself in
that category.

Check your state law... in some places if there is a "T" intersection
and you are coming from the bottom, and there are no signs, you have an
assumed stop sign. I do not know about MA. Does the double yellow on
the other road continue through the intersection without a break?

not sure about the break in the yellow line. I'll have to check
tommorw. Whether or not there is an assumed stop sign may make a
difference in the out come but my daugter stopped before trying to go
left. We all stop there. It is natural to stop there. The fact is that
the other parties front bumper plowed into my daughter's front wheel
and door broad side so I figured that would be good enough.

Sorry, since you didn't mention that she'd stopped, I assumed that she
didn't. If she stopped and looked before proceeding, one of two things
happened, either she missed a vehicle she should have seen or the other
driver was traveling faster than he could see. I am guessing that your
ins. co. will end up sorting this out - or the police, if they feel like
issuing someone a citation.

Actually there were no citations, but the other party approached me
and asked if I wanted to pay for the damage so that my daughter (18
yrs ) wouldn't get surcharged. I told them to go throught their
insurance Co My duaghter now has whiplash injury so I plan on calling
an atorney. The insurance companies aren't going to like this.
