Legal Question in Traffic Law in Virginia
Wreckless driving
While driving my car on a town street I came up on a parked in front of me on the right shoulder of the road. The parked car was pointed in the same direction I was traveling and the back left tire was about a foot or more in the road. As I passed the car the driver opened the driver side door and my car struck the door. There is a lot of damage to both cars but no injuries to any passengers. A police officer came and looked over the accident and came to the conclusion I was at fault for failure to keep my car under control. I would like to hear your thoughts.
Thanks

Many more facts would be needed in order to determine whether you or the other party were soley at fault or whether there might be a combination of culpability in this incident that might well require that responsiblity for this accident be apportioned between you and the other
individual.
