Florida Statute 316.123 governs the right of way at intersections, stating that:
When turning right, drivers must yield to other vehicles and pedestrians that are in or approaching the intersection. This law emphasizes that vehicles making a right turn should be cautious and ensure it is safe before proceeding.

If your left turn lane had a GREEN left turn light, then you had the right of way.
But if you didn't have a left turn light, OR if your left turn light was not green, then you did NOT have the right of way.
All those other laws posted in this thread only apply to lefts and rights where there is no traffic signal to specify that a person turning left may now go. When there's a traffic signal indicating a left turn, then that left turn has the right of way.
