Sorry to be contrary, but what I read was "just as she was opening the door" which implies, to me at least, that she opened the door into the path of an oncoming vehicle, without looking, and said vehicle would have too close to take evasive action.
And if it really way at 50mph, (a) you'd be needing a lot more than just a new door and (b) what was you other half thinking?
As you say, you main thing is that nobody was hurt, but if you are actually at fault here then you should play fair, amongst other things it's dishonest claims that makes all our premiums more expensive
