+1 on the don't talk to her insurance company at all.
In California, if no injuries, no police respond 99.99% of the time.
I got the CHP to come to my wreck, because it happened right in front of a parking enforcement officer that could not believe I was undamaged and walkiing around. She may have called them because the other driver fled the scene.
When I got the police report, the only thing on it that was correct was the name, license and insurance information of the parties involved and the intersection where it happened. Literally everything else in the police report is inaccurate. They did not cite the other guy for speeding, running a stop sign or running away. They failed to do a sobriety test and let the guy go. I am quite confident he was impaired.
I called them to let them know the report was inaccurate and to ask some questions. Never heard back. I have a bit of trepidation about writing them, because my presumption is that the guy who hit me is retired LEO or related to LEO. I expect at least some retribution from the CHP if I pursue this, and getting hassled by the cops every day for nothing is not my idea of a good time. I am going to speak to some folks who are a bit more knowledgable about this sort of thing and see what they suggest. Just letting it slide is not acceptable to me.
