It does matter in the inevitable lawsuit. (At least over here it would be inevitable. Over there things may be different.)

Note that "doorings are legally the fault of the person opening the door" isn't universal. Some places in the US place the onus for avoiding opening doors on the vehicle driving/riding by, not on the opener of the door. I certainly hope there's so such laws in Europe ...
