I also believe its the law still on the books but not enforced (since there are more cars with bucket seats and consoles) that you are supposed to enter and exit the car from the passenger side when parked against a curbline so that this does NOT happen.
Check the law books on entering and exiting a vehicle on a roadway. You may win this hands down.

It's the guy's fault who opened the door. It's true you're supposed to maintain control of your car, but it's not possible to drive in a way that this sort of thing could always be avoided. Imagine trying to drive far enough out into the middle of the street, or slow enough that you could stop in a foot or two if something like this happened. That isn't reasonable, and for that reason, the parked car is at fault.

By the way you phrased your answer, you are. This sounds like a "no fault" accident, where there is not sufficient proof on either party for negligence. I know the scenario you are describing and honestly think that it should be the other party's negligence to not look before opening, they should be glad that they didn't get injured or worse by being so careless. Hope this helps... or at least makes you feel a little better, I'd be bummed too.

The guy who opened his door. He had a duty to do so in a safe manner. Just because you were driving and he was parked doesn't automatically make you at fault. However, if you did something to contribute to the crash, I.E. speeding, etc. than you can share the fault.
