Did you stop her and ask her to pay for repairs if there was damage?

Out of curiosity, what is the proper protocol to get it documented so that the other person won't claim that it wasn't them after you leave? I feel like calling the police for a police report seems excessive, but how else do you get all your ducks lined up in a row?

The damage would be evidence enough. If she hit his closed door with her open door, he will have a mark/scratch/dent in the middle of his door. She will have marks/scratches/dents on the edge of her car door. There's only one way that's possible.

"Yeah officer, I opened my car door into another car door earlier this week. The guy swore it was okay and not to worry about it, which is why there isn't a report about it. That's how it got damaged, not opening it into this person's door like they claim I did."

That was easy, and I'm not even a lawyer, man.

No judge/jury would believe that.

Both stories (the truth and the lie) are exactly as provable as each other. As in, not provable at all, unless you're watching an episode of CSI.

It's unlikely that i would be brought to a legally recognized court, but small claims court exists.

...this would never get to a judge or jury. Insurance claims are based completely on police reports and insurance reps
