I recently had a car accident and am looking for some advice. I was parked about 100ft away from a stop sign, in a 25mph speed limit zone, with my driver side rear door fully open and I was about to unload some stuff from the vehicle.
Another car came onto the street and I stopped unloading my car to check it out.
I was standing between my car and the fully open door and made eye contact with the driver.
The driver misjudged the distance and didn't drive far enough away from my door and ended up hitting my car door with their mirror which has caused aesthetic and possibly mechanical damage to the hinge of my door
Me and the other driver have both agreed in writing to the facts above.
I am wondering if this is 100% the other driver's fault, or if it will be split fault somehow? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
