Mercedes-Benz: W123 vs Ford Expedition - Door will not open...

I was hit from behind by a Ford Expedition that went through a yellow light,
she hit me pretty good, but it was just a fender bender. I got out and my
rear bumper was all smushed in, (passengers side only) and it didn't even
break my rear lights. anyways we swapped info, and I went to school, by the
time I got to school, I looked at my bumper and it was back to normal
(sweet!!! Any new car would have required a new bumper)

Anyways, the only problem I can see is my REAR Passenger door will not open
now. It's unlocked, I can hardly lock it, now I just don't know how to open
it, or what happened. I doubt the frame is bent, etc. Any suggestions? I
need to inform her how much she owes me to the fender-bender.

I would definitely take it to a body shop to get an estimate. Sounds like
you might have more than just a bumper problem. I just had a little fender
bender - no structural damage, and all the estimates I'm getting are over
$1000! Ouch! Don't take the risk, especially if the other person's
insurance is paying for it.
