Turning left when a crash happens? You're not automatically at fault. In New York, left-turning drivers must yield to oncoming traffic. But a speeding driver can share the blame, or carry most of it. Crash data recorders can show speed and braking in the seconds before impact. Ask that both cars be preserved. Report injuries to your own no-fault insurer within 30 days, and get the police report.
