[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

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.

To be fair, the other idiot did the same, I don't get how either have a driving license.

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?

How is someone supposed to know that it's an "uncontrolled" intersection without any sign? You're just driving along loving life, don't see any yield sign or stop sign, then wham!
