Entirely situation dependent. We'd need to know the circumstances of the accident in order to give a correct and informed answer.
When going through an intersection and another car pulls up to the stop sign and stops, you should yield the right of way to the car that arrived first at the stop sign. Wait for the other car to proceed before continuing through the intersection.
An intersection with no stop sign indication means you have the right of way, this also means that the drivers on the other side of the intersection have a stop sign. But to be safe,you can always slow down, just to be ready to break if a driver thinks you have a stop sign.
how close to a stop sign, or an intersection can I park
When approaching an intersection without a stop or yield sign, you are required to yield to any vehicles already in the intersection or approaching from your right.
usually 8 feet from the entrance to the intersection, we are to stop at the stop sign, not the intersection, once the stop is made, proceed with caution to the entrance and then look both ways and then enter into intersection once it is safe to do so

That sign would be the stop sign, the 4-way sign tell you that at that intersection, 4 of the directions of travel through the intersection (including yours) have a stop sign.
Drivers should come to a complete stop at a two-way stop sign intersection when they reach the stop line or before entering the intersection, and yield the right of way to any vehicles that arrived first or are already in the intersection.
If you arrive at an intersection with a stop sign at the same time as another vehicle, the general rule is to yield the right of way to the vehicle on your right. If in doubt, it is best to communicate with the other driver to determine who should proceed first.
'I was in an accident last night, I stopped at the stop sign, saw another car coming down the road, belived they had a stop sign so I proceeded to cross the road and was hit (found out he did not have a stop sign) he was arrested for DUI and i was cited for entering an intersection.'
When you arrive at an intersection with a stop sign, you should come to a complete stop, look both ways for oncoming traffic, and proceed when it is safe to do so.
you only have to stop at a yield sign if there is cross traffic - if it would not be safe for you to continue through the intersection. Typically only one road at the intersection will have a yield sign - the other one will either have no sign or a stop sign/light.
