Legal Question in Traffic Law in California

Who's at fault?
I was recently involved in an auto accident at an
intersection.� The intersection has a three way signal running east
to west north to south (sort of a crisscross formation) I
was about to go through the intersection as the other light
in the opposite direction was turning yellow to red and I new my
light would be turning green.� However, another vehicle was
driving through the intersection trying to make the yellow
light as I was proceeding to make my light as it was to
turn green.� He ended up broadsiding me on my driver
side.� I took the brunt of the damage and he only had a
scratch on his front passenger side where the head light
is.� Am I at fault?� Since my light hadn't actully turned
green and his was yellow going on red??

Re: Who's at fault?

You are not allowed into the intersection until your light is greeen and all traffic previously in the intersection had cleared it. You are at fault.
