It would be YOUR fault UNLESS you can prove there is a manufacturing defect in the door. How you can prove that, I don't know.

Is it legal for a condominium association to place citations and charge monetary penalties for parking next to your garage door?

You can find the answer you want in your governing
documents.
If parking next to your garage door is a violation of the parking
rules in your community, and if the association has notified owners
of this parking restriction, it may cite you for parking there and
charge you a fine.
Request copies of the CC&Rs, By-laws or board meeting minutes
where this parking restriction is documented, so that you can
understand your violation and your appeal process.
Asked in Homeowner's Insurance, Auto Insurance Claims
Who is at fault if a garage door is opening and car drives into it before it clears the path?

With garage door opening probably the fault of the driver. With
a closing door driver could be not at fault if someone closed it on
top of car. But opening should be seen by driver. Like running into
a closed door that's not moving. Unless someone told the driver it
was open and it wasn't and so the driver hit it backing out. Or it
was open then someone else closed it and started to open it
again.
Does a garage door opener use an encrypted key to open the door?

When a certain device that is programmed to open a particular
garage door is used what happens in order to get the garage door
open? If the device used to get the garage door to open sends a
signal when pressed, to a sensor in the garage door that opens the
garage door, does that device use an encrypted key in the signal in
order to get the door to open and insure that the signal is coming
from someone who is authorized to open the door?
