If you were parked on the street, it is actually illegal to open the driver's door in most states. It would be your fault. You always want to make absolutely sure that nothing is coming from behind, and then make a quick exit. If you have something that you need to take with you such as a breifcase, camera bag, etc., you leave it, and go around to the passenger side to retrieve the item. If you were in a parking lot, it would be the other vehicle's fault.
