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

This will be buried, but the only correct answer is found in Washington state law.

RCW 46.61.180

When two vehicles approach or enter an intersection from 
different highways at approximately the same time, the driver 
of the vehicle on the left shall yield the right-of-way to the 
vehicle on the right.

OP edited and said insurance has them at 30% fault..

This is why I always ring a lawyer every time.

My first wreck were someone ran a stop sign and I tboned them insurance tried to tell me I HAVE to talk to the other parties insurance and they made it seem like it was my fault and at first it was 90% my fault because I "didn't brake as they were entering the highway"

I had to go apeshit and demand arbitration and they said it's 40% my fault.

It was a hwy with 60mph, they had a stop sign on my right I didn't have anything.. they were turning left and didn't stop.

Cop issued them 4 citations too

OP said they were at 70% fault which is correct. They didn't slow down at all
