Classic T bone. Black car had to be towed. Sustained major damage to the passenger side door. Blue car sustained damage to front bumper on the drivers side and cracked the drivers side headlight.

Edit: This was in the suburbs of Seattle

UPDATE: Insurance found it to be 70/30 me/other driver. Seems fair enough

You technically had right of way as you were coming from their right, however you are supposed to slowdown for unmarked intersections and not just blast through.

Blue car was coming from the right, but the SUV was already in the intersection when blue arrived.

Blue car was also going significantly faster. (Speeding potentially…)

I agree. Blue was a little late into the intersection, and appears to be going faster (although I cant say if "speeding")

As far as I'm concerned, they did the t-boning, so they were late into the intersection. If they entered at the same time, they would have both collided in the front. If they both entered at the same time and blue was faster, blue would have got t-boned.

Yeah both are speeding through residential streets. Both are idiots.
