Legal Question in Traffic Law in Illinois

I was in a parking lot and was traveling down the middle of the lane. Cars are parked on both sides not on angles. I was attempting to turn right into a parking spot and a car who driver was impatient unknowing to me was attempting to pass me on the right hitting my passenger side front tire. I did not use my signal to indicate that I was going to park. Who is at fault in this situation. Me for not using my turn signal or the driver attempting to pass a car who is attempting to park.
