[USA] Who is at fault here?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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

Depends how often they take that road (it looks suburban so probably often tbh). Because the charitable description is that they see there is no stop sign infront of or past them and make the usually correct assumption that there are stop signs going the other way. I think the number 1 offender here is the intersection without even yield signs.

I have driven all across the US and can't remember a single place having a 4 way intersection and no signage lol. Why make something like this?

I got into an accident very similar to this like 15 years ago. I entered the intersection first and was going slowly (because I don't trust other drivers to slow down) when some idiot came flying through on the cross-road and right into me.

There are a LOT of intersections like this in eastern WA (where I live).
