Who is at fault if someone opens a car door as another car is pulling into the parking space next to them and hits it?
I beleive, whoever's car is moving (wheel-wise), is at fault.
Who is at fault when you are pulling out of a parking space and the car next to you swings open their door and the you hit their car?
It depends. If they hit you with their door, it's usually their fault. If you hit their door with your car, it's most likely your fault. That said, the burden of ensuring the way is clear is ALWAYS on the reversing vehicle.
Who is at fault if you were parked in a parking lot with your door already open and another car hits your door trying to park next to you?
If the facts are as stated in the question, then the driver pulling into the space would be at fault. HOWEVER - the other driver's defense will very likely be that YOU opened the door on THEM. Without independent, non-interested witnesses it is going to be almost impossible to prove fault one way or the other.
Who is at fault if pulling forward out of a parking spot and you are struck by another vehicle on the passenger door?
Depends on the situation. If you signaled in advance and had room to pull out without interrupting the flow of traffic then the other driver is at fault. However if you did not signal and attempted to pull out without being aware of on coming traffic you are at fault.

The driver of the other vehicle. You were moving and they were stationary, hence they didn't yield right of way to you. Chance are, the parking space was private property, so a citation wouldn't be issued. Laws in your state may vary.

Rule of thumb: if two cars are in an accident and only one of them is moving, it's the fault of the car that was moving.
