The other party was at fault
he came from behind and the passing vehicle has the burden to make the pass safely.
being that you were making a left turn has no barring on this case it has to do with who was passing and who was going to fast.

if i understood right...
the car coming from behind u is at fault
however if u hit a car coming in the opposite direction W/O a protected arrow that part of the accident is ur fault.

If it happened as you say then the idiot in the other car is at fault. He/she shouldn't have tried to pass.

A police report is just that...a report. If he didn't witness the loss his opinon is not the end-all in a claims decision. Let your insurance adjuster handle this for you.

Whether you had your indicator on doesn't matter, the other car should not have tried to overtake.
