He didn't make the turn but instead switched lanes to go straight again and t boned me dead on. But i got the ticket for failure to yield before a turn. I did stop.

what can i do?
Simple answer: Nothing - you are at fault, plain and simple.

That is why you make SURE that the person commits to the turn before you make a move. It doesn't matter if he has his blinker on or not; perhaps he hit it by accident, who knows. Perhaps he changed his mind and went straight. He DOES have the right to do so seeing that he didn't do anything illegal in the cop's eyes hence why he didn't get a ticket.

You will have to pay your deductible and your insurance will take care of you (depending on your coverage). There is really nothing you can do about it in all honesty. You failed to yield the right of way.
