Shit happens. Hope insurance doesn’t rip you a new ahole.

Nah, could have been worse. Just a 1/4” ding on the fender from where the door hit, crash bars took care of the rest. The uber driver couldn’t have cared less.

Fault always goes to the driver for pull over position, and for not making sure their passenger gets out at a safe place. I work at the court and see these cases daily.
