I'd need to know the specifics of the crash to know whether failure to signal was the root cause, but I tend to doubt it. If the drivers were following the prescribed lane and yielding guidelines, a turn signal is not really required to provide safety. A turn signal is only useful to indicate your intent to exit to someone who has not followed the guidelines ... and even then is only useful if the trailing car is far enough back to see the signal.
