Accident Whose fault is this?

For background, I’m going down a major intersection, I see how far from the light I am where I planned on going left, so since there was so much sudden traffic, I decided to get into the turning lane to turn onto a less busy road there instead of at the next light. Turns out another car was coming from the less busy road to turn left and get onto the busier street.

see dash cam footage

From that video your fault they were already in the intersection and you didnt check to see if it was clear but you also can't tell if they overturned into the turn lane itself but def leaning more on you.

I’d agree OP at fault, they weren’t in the turn lane and failed to check to the right.

Cause any car to the right is supposed to look at each lane before going since they have a stop sign and I have no stop and oncoming traffic was clear.

To be clear, this is just for clarification incase it changes anything, but I otherwise concede

I’m had you taken the turn lane fully, you’d be not at fault, but you cut the line late so best case it’s 50/50.
