However, when it came time for her insurance to pay up, they said 1/2 at fault only! Since it was in a parking lot the police do not get involved. My insurance company suggested we take 1/2 the repair cost and be happy with that.

When I suggested to her insurance Co that this was a rip off, the agent replied "wouldn't you want us to represent you as aggressively if you were our client?" I was angry to say the least.

It sucked real bad!

I hope this is not the case for me. No metal body panels were hit, I think the most expensive part will be the turn signal assembly (and labor), the plastic bumper is a little rough, but I won't get a good idea of the condition until tomorrow/daylight.

What ever happens, happens. I hope the insurance issue will at least be a lesson for the girl.
