Caught out by a classic

I was turning right out of a road. Lady signalling to turn left - I assumed into the road I was turning out of. I pulled out, and she carried on right into the side of me :mad:
No-one injured, just very frustrating. On the plus side this was witnessed by some kind members of the public who will provide a statement saying she was indicating left. On the minus side, I suspect that this wont matter and I will be liable anyway. Seems unfair, but that's life. Will have to wait and see what happens.
Hard to tell from the photo, but the wing is badly dented and will need replacing. The alloy wheel is also damaged. The tracking bizarrely seems to have been put out, as the steering wheel is no longer central to go straight. It was a fairly low speed collision.
So annoying since this is my first 'brand new' car, and I've only ever had one accident and that was when I first passed over a decade ago. Typical eh.
