Dude, You DID cause the accident. The law requires you to 1) signal well in advance of a lane change, and 2) to make certain that a lane change will be safe. You did neither. You were going too fast; you were not paying attention to the traffic ahead. You created YOUR crisis, and then expected the other car to read your mind.
