My Baby Got Hit Today, I never thought I would ever be posting Options

So I'm sitting in my car on a side street talking to my friends about an apartment they're going to look at. All of a sudden, there is this old woman in an Accord who side swipes the Celi, bounces off my car, swerves and keeps going. Thank God for the red light cause I ran down the street to get her license plates. The first thing the woman says is "Why did you open the door while I was driving by?". I looked at her and said "Ma'am, let's not do this. You hit my parked car." At this time, my friends get out to look at the damage. They close the doors and my alarm locked the doors after 30 seconds.and my insurance info, license and all that were in the car. I was so pissed that I just had to laugh. Then the woman says "Well you have to admit that your car is way off the curb and stuck out in the street." How can she try to blame me for her hitting a parked car. Her car had a dent in the front fender and her side mirror was broken. My drivers side fender and the part over the rear wheel well has deep white scratches all on it. That's not even the worst thing. The worst part was that it was a Honda Accord!! Now you see why I hate Honda owners.

Thanks for the well wishes. i eventually called my Allstate motor club to send someone to unlock my doors. I got the woman's info and let her leave because it was like 20 degrees in Boston last night. What surprised me is that the police wouldn't get ivolved. I went to the station afterward and they told me to go through my insurance company to see who was at fault. The police only have to come if someone was injured. So i called my insurance company and they tell me to contact the woman's insurance company to get compensated. If I wanted my insurance company to handle it, I would have to pay the $500 deductable up front and get it back later, after the woman's insurance paid my insurance company. Does anyone else find this all a bit strange ? I'm from Chicago and we definately do things a lot different. Well anyway, the moral of the story is don't get into an accident in Massachusetts.

By the way, the damage is a dent and a couple of deep scratches and the fuel door is jacked and there is a long scratch on my side mirror.
