I don't think so. Her insurance company will pay. Unless she gets points, it won't cost her anything. If the repair is under a certain amount, they don't surcharge or apply points.
Her deductible has nothing to do with how much is paid out.

Oh Bass is right too. You can file with your own insurance company and let them do the work of making her insurance company pay.
They waive your deductible in this case.
You can always call the cops to the scene of an accident, but they don't fill out a report unless they feel the damage is above "X". or there are other circumstances.

Up here they only waive IF they collect from the other ins co. If they dont it goes against your policy and you pay the deductible as set forth on your policy.

If the accident happened as described, my first choice would be to go against the other driver's insurance. If our S driver was exiting the parking lot, then the situation can change...I'd have to go back and re-read the post.....

NOPE, not if it's not your fault, they subrogate and get the money back from the other carrier.

Regardless, better to be safe than sorry and call the cops, no matter what Steve's
booze-sloshed brain says.

Your statement is true in MA, IF the accident is YOUR FAULT your rates may go up if you file a claim.
In MA an accident that is not your fault does not cause your rates to go up in. If you are less than 50% at fault, the insurance carrier recoups the $ from the at fault person.
If it's a hit and run and they can't recoup, the insured would be responsible for deductible only and I do not think the rates would go up if they paid that claim.
