Question
I was at a stop sign headed north. There are lights facing east/west. the light was green. I looked both ways and no one was coming so i went through the intersection. As i was through the intersection i was hit on the side by another vehicle at full speed. she was (i believe) on a side road headed west. My car spun 360 and i was still not in the main road. Her car has a few small scratches on the front bumper while my car has been written off. She is blaming me. Did i not have the right of way since she was on that side road and not the main road?! Should I have to be paying for her damage and she not be paying for my car? She also admitidly said she chose not to stop because of ice?  

Answer
Was it a Stop Sign or Stop Light?
If it was a light and you had the green then you had the right of way and she ran a red light and should have been charged.
If it was a stop sign and you had a clear intersection then you were ok to proceed with caution.
either way the Police should have been called.
