Who is at fault if you were parked in a parking lot with your door already open and another car hits your door trying to park next to you?

If the facts are as stated in the question, then the driver pulling into the space would be At Fault.
HOWEVER - the other driver's defense will very likely be that YOU opened the door on THEM. Without independent, non-interested witnesses it is going to be almost impossible to prove fault one way or the other.

Who is at fault if a driver backs into a parked car that is parked past a no parking sign?
Some people incorrectly believe: "It is the parked car driver that is at fault because the car was parked past the sign." However, a parked car does not have the ability to see and avoid other cars; the drivers of the other cars are responsible for trying to avoid hitting any object that may be standing in the way, regardless of how it got there or whether it happens to be there legally. Could I legally crash into a parked car simply because it's time ran out on the parking meter? Parking laws rarely have anything to do with liability to other drivers who crash into each other. On the other hand, if the illegally parked car was violating a view to a intersection approach, and two OTHER cars collide "because of it", then the parking law COULD apply and may serve to apportion fault to the driver of the parked car who created the specific hazard against which the sign was posted, but most of the blame is on the other drivers who failed to exercise caution while driving. It still doesn't give someone the roght to drive into it.

How To Find Airport Parking?
If you have ever been to an airport then you know just how difficult it can sometimes be to find appropriate and convenient airport parking. There are many ways to go about the locating of airport parking which will help make the process much easier and less stressful. The first thing to do is to remain calm. Having a panic attack during a time like this will not help the situation at all. Having an ease of mind and a clear head will help you locate the most opportune parking in the airport parking lot. It would be ideal to first look for parking that is as close to your terminal as you can get. Then start working your way back further through the parking lot until you are able to find the most convenient airport parking. There might be others who will compete with you to find the best spot for parking in an airport parking lot. Do not try to race these people in getting to the spot first. That method could only end in either an accident or a feud with the person whom you were trying to beat to the parking spot. The best way to go about this is to turn your turn signal on when you find the ideal airport parking spot and hope that the person trying for the same spot is respectful enough to let you have the parking. Once you have found your parking spot in the airport parking lot, make sure you take note of which section of the parking lot in which you are located. Most airport parking lots are very large and span a large space, making it very easy to lose track of the precise location in which you are parked. To combat this, just remember the letter of the section of the parking lot in which you are parked. The letter should be in a central location of the parking lot on one of the lighting poles. If you follow all of these steps, then you should have not trouble at all when it comes to finding and dealing with airport parking and all it entails.

How do you build a parking lot in mall tycoon 3?
Okay, after looking around, and trying out different things, I have finally figured it out. You don't build parking lots!!! When you research them they are automatically built. If you look around the grounds of your mall before researching, you will see empty spaces, with dirt in them. As you research them, parking lots are built on these lands. The same goes for train stations. The trains are already there, but after research, the station appears.
