Who is at fault if you hit a car that went through a yield sign then slammed on brakes?
An accident is usually the fault of the driver who was violating the law. However, other circumstances may apply. It is illegal to go through a yield sign and not yield even if you then slam on the brakes. Still, something else might apply. Courts exist to take care of such situations.
What else can I help you with?
If the car merging onto a road in front of you was beyond the Yield sign and slammed on their brakes Who is at fault?
Sounds like you rear-ended them. Are you the same person who had the driver ahead "Brake aggressively" a couple of weeks ago? If the front of your car strikes the back of another and they are not in reverse, 99.99% of the time you are at fault.
Who at fault when driver yield and then slam on the brakes?
If a driver yields and then suddenly slams on the brakes without a valid reason, they may be considered at fault if it leads to an accident. This behavior can confuse other drivers and increase the risk of collisions. However, the specific circumstances, such as whether there was an unexpected hazard or a need to stop suddenly, would also be taken into account during an accident investigation. Ultimately, fault can vary based on local traffic laws and the details of the incident.
Who is at fault if A is traveling straight through an intersection on a green signal and B turns left in front of A and A hits B on the right passenger side door?
B is at fault. Drivers making a turn, must yield to oncoming traffic. B is at fault for making a left turn without yielding. There is no general rule that all turning traffic must yield, although some jurisdictions may have such a specialized rule.

Who is at fault if car 1 in the far left lane on a three-lane road and car 2 in the far right speeds up to pass car 1 and make an illegal u-turn but brakes to avoid oncoming traffic and car 1 hits it?
The police will have to decide on this one because it depends how close you were when car #2 made the U-turn. If it was far enough away then both of you would be at fault. Car #1 would be at fault for "undue care and attention" and Car #2 would be at fault for making an illegal u-turn. Car 2 is at fault from enroachment into the left lane. He has not only the obligation to yield to traffic in the lane with which he wants to merge, but also the responsibility to yield to oncoming traffic. In most states, he also can't change multiple lanes at a time. Car 2 is clearly at fault.

The lane that goes straight through without changing is the main lane. If you merge into that lane, you have to yield to the flow of traffic. That means if your lane ends, it is you that should yeild.
Are you at fault if you hit a car failing to yield and taking a left turn?
Of course you are. This is no different than "Am I at fault for seeing a car coming and jumping in front of it from the sidewalk." Look before you leap.
If you are in an accident and you are issued a failure to yield right of way citation and in court the charge is dismissed can your insurance company still hold you liable as at-fault?
You do not have to be guilty of an infraction to be at fault. Driver "1" in the Police report is the "at fault" driver. Y-THINK-Y
