I think you for an illegal turn. Other driver man not had time to slow down. There are reasons for why it is an illegal turn.
You should have just went to next intersection or found a safe place to turn around. I believe if the police were called you already know who was at fault and you probably didn't like the answer..........Am I right?

Need to know more. I would say that you will be assigned anywhere from 50-100% of the fault. It depends on how much distance, time, visibility, speed and control the other driver had. As well as the driving conditions (clear, rain/ice, daylight, night, sunlight shining in someone's eyes, etc.) at the time of the accident.
If you turned right in front of the other driver in ideal conditions and the other driver was observing all signs and limits, then you are probably 100% at fault.
If the other driver was speeding, DUI, blew threw a red light, etc, then he/she could be assigned up to 50% of the fault.
Sorry about your accident - I hope nobody was injured. Cars are repairable or replaceable. Please drive much more carefully in the future.

If you made an illegal u-turn, you will be fine for "Making an illegal u-turn". But if an accident happened due to your illegal u-turn, you will likely be charged for "Inconsiderate Driving". Whether your had straightened your vehicle or not, you are at fault, don't forget after u-turn, your vehicle is at the extreme right lane, which is a fast moving lane.

Are we talking about legally or ethically?
Ethically, there's probably enough blame to go around, if you managed to straighten the car before impact, the person who hit you was probably going too fast. But, then, you did just make an illegal u-turn.
Legally, it may get a little more complicated. If your illegal manuver is deemed to have caused the accident, you're probably on the hook. But, states vary greatly on this...you're going to look at your local rules on contributory negligence and comparative responsibility. That said, if you're in a no-fault insurance state, you respective insurance companies are going to hash it out, and unless a lot of money is involved, you won't have to hear about any of this.

You!
But let your insurance co. work it out. Sometimes if it is argued before a judge a 50/50 decision is sometimes rendered. !/2 your fault and 1/2 the other persons fault.
