If my car is hit at a gas station on the passenger side door, who is liable?

I was at the gas station, a women was 10 feet away from my car and had time to stop before hitting my passenger side. I was driving straight on one side of the gas station store (The air pump was on the side I was driving from). I was using my right blinker to turn into the gas pumps area around the corner of my side. 10 feet away a women drives straight into my vehicle on the passenger side as I am about to finish getting off the side of the building. Technically I should have been in her line of site at this time, the front of my vehicle. As I am pulling out I seen her coming and she hit the passenger side. I was not taking a sharp right turn either and thankfully I didn't.. She was driving from that area where the gas station door was located but not where other cars park to pump gas. Who is liable in this accident/incident? Her bumper only had a few scratches while my door is indented completely and the top of the door is gapped bad where rain can get in and the bottom of the door is indented severely. The right fender is hanging off a lot too. Thanks.
