Good thing is it seems like only the door/window was damaged. Not real body frame damage een but it seems unlikely. Good luck to you man but I think your car will have a full recovery.

^The other guy's insurance should write him a check for however much the adjuster thinks it will cost to fix. It will probably be around a $1400 claim. So buy a door off a parts car for 400, and have 1000 to spend

I'm just confused why he was backing up while turning right? Or was he like getting out of his driveway?
Either way yeah no kidding if anything lucky! Only got the door and nothing else. Just make sure when you get the car back that the door opens exactly like the drivers side and the the gaps are even and all the bolts/fastners are on the fender and no new holes are made.

ok I was at a stop sign behind a truck turning left and the guy pulled to the side of the truck I was behind to turn right he pulled up so he could see if something was comming so he could turn there was a car coming so he backed up cause I guess he was out to far and backed in to me
