My car was recently repaired after an accident, the mechanic replaced radiator, battery, all front lights, and the computer. Now the turning lights on the right side are always on, they do blink when you signal to turn but stay on when you already turned, the same thing on the brake lights left side, they stay on even if you are not pressing on the brake

If the mechanic won't fix it, go back to the insurance company. The insurance company is responsible for fixing your car, and they won't much appreciate the garage not doing the job right.
It's unlikely the computer needed replacing, unless it was physically bashed in the accident, or the accident caused some horrible short in the wiring to the computer. Lots of mechanics don't know jack about computers so they don't realize the problem is in the sensors, actuators, or the wiring in between. Dealers tend to be a lot more skilled at dealing with computer related problems, so if the insurance can't find a garage to fix it, demand they take it to a dealer (i.e. the new-car dealer for that brand of car.)

Take it back, tell him something is wrong, it wasnt like this before, and ask him to fix it. if it is a reputable shop, they should take it, correct it, and all free of charge.
