| So who's at fault in this accident?
I need your guys's opinion on this one. I was in an accident which took place along river road in Richmond Right under the 2.Road Bridge.
So here's what happened. I was along river road east bound while the other party was heading west bound. We both approached each other when I saw that he had his left turn signal on wanting to turn left to go south-bound onto 2 road. He merged into the left turn lane and I noticed that he stopped. Assuming that I have the right of way because I was going straight through, I kept constant velocity. When we were maybe 5-10 meters away from eachother, he decided to left turn and I did not have any space to come to a stop despite slamming on the brakes. I T-boned him on his Rear passenger side door and wheel, with my front passenger side. This is a Single lane road so I had no other lanes to merge to. Also, This intersection has no traffic signs, no stop signs, no lights, no yield signs, just a pedestrian crosswalk but there were no pedestrians at the time. here is a diagram of what the scene looks like from a birds eye view: 
Heres my car: 
Heres his car: 
Also, I have an eye witness who I also reported to ICBC, I also have a voice recording of the other party which I have not yet submitted to ICBC admitting that he misjudged the distance between me and him. Is this enough evidence to leave the other party with 100% liability?
So what do you guys think?

IMO, based on your account, 100% his fault.

i believe it is 100% his fault. left turns must yield oncoming traffic and only turn when safe to do so, unless they have a left turn arrow. not sure why he decided to start making the turn when you haven't passed him yet.

Entered thread and scrolled through pics, saw that was in Richmond, expecting at-fault driver's car to be a silver Toyota sedan or white Lexus RX-series SUV...
...leaving thread satisfied.

looks like his fault. He needs to ensure the intersection is clear before making the turn.

Also the fact you have a recording of him admitting he misjudged the distance makes him more fucked

It's clearly the other party's fault. Even if he suddenly tells the adjust that you were speeding the adjust won't care, unless both cars are completely mangled and flipped over 50 metres away. That's when they'll think that speed is a factor.

I have already made the claim and explained just the gist of it to the ICBC rep at time of accident, do you guys think they'll call me back to ask me about the situation in greater detail or is it a good idea for me to call them and add details to the existing case? biggest accident for me so far, sorry for the rookie questions  Quote:

from the damage on both cars, it doesn't look like speed will be questioned, however keep that recording safe. keep copies.
witness can turn against you and if the other party lies, which i'm not sure how they can even come up with any other story based on the pics, you'll want that evidence.
i was involved in an incident where there was no witness, no actual collision between the cars (other party turned into wrong lane, i avoided collision and scraped both opposite side front and rear wheels and damaged sidewalls as a result), so it was a "he said, she said" deal. other party wanted to settle out of icbc, when they decided it was too expensive and go through icbc instead they lied saying she turned into the correct lane. i had a handwritten message with her signature saying it was 100% her fault that she signed road-side at the incident. icbc didn't ask for any more photos/explanations. i sent an email with a copy of the handwritten message with signature, 2 minutes later, "claim resolved, no deductible". so just in case, make sure that recording is safe.
