First of all I'll apologise for my paint drawing.

I was wondering how this scenario might play out with my insurance. Just before the incident I was travelling along the minor road on my motorbike (in red), and stopped at the junction due to traffic. The car that was travelling south east (orange) had stopped, and gestured for me to exit. The car in blue had had its indicators on for some time down the road to exit left into the junction I was waiting to come out of.

As the car indicting left approached the junction I pulled out due to the lady signalling her intent to turn off the main road, she didn't turn left (she didn't realise indicator was on) and we collided.

How might this play out in regards to fault, as I am only third party this is quite the catch. I have 4 independent witnesses to confirm the ladies indication.

Thanks,

PainTrain

Op here.

For anyone that stumbles on this topic in future looking for likely outcomes etc.

I have just accepted an offer for a 50/50 split in fault.

Personally, I believe myself to be in the right (don't we all)! However, it seems entirely possible to be "in the right" and injured/ dead simultaneously!

Well, apparently not. But thanks anyway.
