Who is at fault when your making a left hand turn into on coming traffic and some one hits you in your rear quarter panel when you were only stopped by traffic?

Answer

The last car in (at the rear) will take the blame for the accident in most cases. It appears that you were hit while legally stopped waiting for traffic to clear before you felt safe enough to execute your left turn.
