The question also is ... How fast were you going? If your speeding down the road and decide to pass a car in your own lane, thats wreckless endangerment (term used here in Canada).
To do that kind of damage to your car while hitting a car comming the other way, or even a parked car/object i can see. But for you to do that damage while a car is moving in the same direction as you, you would have to be going quite a bit faster then her to make that kind of damage on contact.

Unless you have a witness attesting to illegal lane change or aggressive driving or something like that, her stupidity alone is not enough to pin it on her unless there is clear evidence that your nose was ahead of her.

Being a motorcycle rider I tend to be very aware of the "not recognized as a blind spot" blind spot. Position of the passing car is generally the key factor (as you pointed out Dave) in determining who gets the ticket (that and who the cop likes better) usually the passing car gets the ticket (much like the guy who rearends someone) wish you luck.

Hope everything turns out all right with the insurance. If it was up to me I would place all the blame on the lady, not using turn signals is one of the things that pisses me off the most when I am driving and no one here in NC use there ******* turn signals so I get angry alot.

NAH... Those dimwits have a reason for not using their turn signals.
They just assume that you have all day to wait until they make up their minds what they are going to do before you pass them. They're so dumb that they don't realize that using their turn signals can keep THEM out of an accident.
The other thing that ticks me off is when they turn on the turn signals when they have already started to turn!
