Question:
Ok, so I was a three way intersection. I had a stop sign and I stopped, looked, did all that good stuff, when I went to pull out to turn left onto the road ( i was going kinda slow because I didn't know the area at all) a truck came around a turn and rear ended me. I didn't even see him! So, my car is a POS anyway and I've already been in an accident in the rear end in it and his truck had minimal damage (like a scratch and a ding) so we decided not to get the insurance involved but we exchanged info anyway.
So was it my fault for pulling out?

This reads as if it was the truck driver's fault. They say as a rule of thumb: Always contact the police in the event of a car accident--no matter how minor.

Unless he did not have a stop sign, it is his fault. Even if you say your car is a POS, I would report it to his insurance company anyway. Especially if you have significant damage. If the damage is more than the vehicle is worth, you will get the actual cash value of your car. It may be good money - so I would report it!Yes a stop sign is what it says you stop until it is safe to proceed you have been hit by a truck that you should of seen and waited for

You sound like a poor driver. You should pay more attention to your surroundings..How you will measure the things around you if you cant measure the limits rear on you?
There is on more question to be answered. What was the speed limit on the main road which you entered? Coz if there was a stop sign before you entered the road, then the speed limit on the road you turned into would automatically be around 40. So was the truck guy speeding? This accident clearly shows that he wasnt doing the correct speed as if he was, then he should have definitely been able to stop before even getting very close to your car. So how are you going to get your car fixed if its a POS now? The trucker may have been a nice person but hey, if he was 10 or 20 miles faster, what do you think is the chance you stand of being unhurt today?Is it safe to put a baby carseat in a Jeep TJ?
If you exchanged insurance information, you will find out. Also, you may have been required by law to report the accident. A lot of people try to avoid reporting what may appear to be a small accident but you better know the law of your locality. If you have been accident free, it will not make a difference to your insurer who really should be notified anyway so as not to be surprised if a claim comes in against you unexpectedly. It sounds like the driver of the truck was not able to control his vehicle rather than you causing the problem.Should it be allowed for you to talk on your cell phone while driving?
The majority of fault would seem to be yours. You had a stop sign and didn't yield to traffic that had the right of way. The other driver may be 10-20% at fault for speed and failing to keep a proper lookout, but you didn't yield from the stop sign.What exactly are the state laws for bike riders who ride on the street?
