Have seen a couple of people doored. One demolished a car door and the other was being loaded into an ambulance with a neck brace unconscious.
Cars generally give parked cars over a metre of clearance, cyclists should do so too. You have the right to ensure your own safety.
In one of the car doorings I saw the driver had been sitting in his car with no lights on - it was evening, and he just suddenly opened the door, so there was not any indication that there was anyne in the car - unlike if you had seen the car just park up.
