You were parked correctly. Hitting a stationary object is 100% the other persons fault in this case.

Talk to your insurance company which should solve these issues for you. Do not speak with her company again. If they won't pony up the other 20% get a lawyer and go after them for everything you can (reduced vehicle value, etc)

I am a professional accident investigator and this is the best advice I can give.

Get your insurance company to fight them over it. That's part of what they're there for.

I went through this exact same situation 2 years ago. My insurance company went pitbull and had one of their lawyers call. There was no fight, bad drivers company just said OK we'll cover it.

What others have said here is correct, every insurance company tries not to pay. Your insurance company won't want to pay so its their job to protect you and they will. Most people just say oh well and go along with it. Add all those "what can I do" folks up and its a nice savings in a bad economy. I'm betting your insurance company will get this done for you. Good luck I know how it feels and it sucks!

Agreed, no lawyer needed. Your insurance will fight when you tell them her insurance company is requesting they pay 20%
