Do you have your own insurance? If so, make a claim with your insurer to take care of the damage to your car. Then your insurer will subrogate against (make a legal claim for reimbursement from) the other driver's insurance carrier. At least you'll be taken care of. If you have no insurance, you should probably hire a lawyer to help you with this one since liability is being disputed. If there is a police report, get a copy of it. It would say if there was another driver that hit the one behind you. She would have mentioned that at the scene. And there should be some damage to the rear of her car.
