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.

This is great advise. Thanks guys for the info. The only thing is that there was no one injured and I was unsure if the damage exceeded $1000 so the police told me that I couldn't file a report. I think that's the way they handle accidents in Massachusetts, as crazy as it sounds. They want the insurance companies to deal with the situation. Her insurance company told her she had the option to pay me out of pocket if she didn't want her rates to go up again. I guess I'll see after I get the estimate on Monday.
