If she pulled out, shouldn't she pay for it?! If she ran, file a hit-and-run and claim on your uninsured motorist. Although if you have to ask insurance, they would prolly total it. Negotiate ... they like to get out of it with less paperwork too, so offer that it can be done for less and be willing to accept used parts for the repair. FWIW, a scratch/dent about the size of a grapefruit + scratching of the trim strip when someone backed into the side of my mom's car ran a bill of $925.

Was the first hit a glancing blow on the corner, or just along the side? If it hit the corner hard, that could skew the front end frame. Check under the hood ... is the strut tower bent in any way?

The front fender and both doors are bolt-on replacements. The rear-quarter panel will either be replaced with a new section or the split rewelded and smoothed.
