In general, the moving car would be At Fault because pedestrians always have the right of way. However, under certain circumstances, it could be the door-opener's fault.
Since it was the following car's responsibility to maintain a safe stopping distance from the car in front, the car that rear-ended the stopped vehicle is at fault.
It depends on the state, jurisdiction, and sometimes even the insurance company; however, in many cases, the vehicle from behind is at fault. Most traffic investigators (whether they be law enforcement or with the insurance) agree that the second vehicle (or the vehicle from behind) is delegated the responsibility of following from a reasonable distance. If the second vehicle is not capable of stopping in time, it's generally because they were following too close to the vehicle in front of them.
It has been my experience that you are at fault if you rear-end the vehicle in front of you, the citation would be "following to close" or something to that effect.
Sorry but you are at fault in this situation even if a vehicle stops in front of you because in the eyes of the law you must leave enough room between you and the next vehicle to stop at all times. If not you are apt to be cited for following too close in a rear end collision.

Assuming the question is asking in a three car accident the rear most vehicle doesn't strike the front vehicle, could fault be assigned to the rear most vehicle. Answer: Yes, in many states. Laws vary from state to state and depending on the circumstances and the reporting of the police officer on the scene. The officer would determine fault in the accident, which most typically falls on the rear most vehicle who initiated the collision. You are at fault for any vehicle you strike in a rear end accident.
