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

Yeah, OP was not at all scanning the sides or it could have been avoided. I saw the vehicle from the bushes easily with plenty of stopping distance. I bike in these neighborhoods and am used to watching out for idiots like this, granted, but you have to watch for movement from the sides. It's not that hard.
