Random traffic/at fault question Options

So earlier today I was driving back to work... I had to make a left turn, so I got in the center lane and put on my turn signal. Traffic coming the other way so I couldn't go yet. Little bit afterwards, someone coming the opposite direction also has to make a turn, so she gets in the center lane as well and puts on her signal. I'm scooched forward a bit, so she can't make her turn yet either (plus there was traffic coming, blocking her).

Just as traffic clears in the opposite direction and I move to make my turn, she decides she doesn't want to turn after all and moves back into her original lane, heading towards me.

Now we didn't come close to hitting or anything, but if we had, who would be at fault? I started to turn before she made her lane change (plus I don't think she signaled for that), so would she have been at fault?

I'm not really sure. I think the fact that the middle lane is not an acceleration lane may make her at fault, but then again, left turning traffic must yield to oncoming traffic.
