not sure what you mean by "someone opens their car door is hit", but usually, the person speeding is At Fault. He IS speeding afterall, which is illegal in the first place..
Disagree: It is the responsiblity of the person opening the car door to ascrtain if there is oncoming traffic and it is safe to do so. It may be YOUR contention that the oncoming car was speeding - how are you going to prove it?
The possible result (from a law enforcement perspective) - the person whose door was struck could be ticketed and (if insured) the insurance companies will probably fight it out between themselves.

If a car stops their in the middle of a neighborhood street and opens their door and another car tries to pass who is at fault?
This is not as obvious as you may think, because it also depends on timing. If a car opens its door when another car is approaching, that is irresponsible. But if the door is already open and then a car approaches and fails to stop, that is also irresponsible. So either one could be at fault.
