The door wont open

An idiot drove into the passenger door and now the door wont open
I went to a couple of body repair shops they told the same thing either to break the door interior or cut the door to open it but I didn't like these methods
So please any suggestions on how to fix it with out breaking or cutting
And the stupid insurance company put me on a waiting list for a month

go ask an audio install place where the pieces are to take off the interior door pannel. You should be able to find the problem and either bend it with some tools to be remotely useable or to just open the door that way.

Get in the other side? If it's stuck closed, it's likely won't close again once it's open. Wait for the repair shop to get it open.

Looks like the lock inside the panels are either jammed or fell out of place, dont listen to them that they need to slice the door open. They will have a way to open the interior to replace the lock and pull the door out. It happened to my civic before where the lock gets jammed. Of course the whole lock mechanism will need to be replaced.

They can open it from the inside, end of story.
