Don't fall into that trap. It's not private property. It's a public access road, which basically means your car must be registered/roadworthy and you must be licenced to drive in there. (That's in a nutshell, without going into the rest of the dribble)

The question at hand. Basically, you will have to pay your excess to have the repairs done. If there is no witnesses, no footage or anything like that, it's a he said, she said scenario. She could say you hit her, you could say she hit you, when it comes to the crunch. There is no way looking at the damage caused to a car to determine who is at fault, in the eyes of the insurance assessors, or the police.

Unfotunately, that's the way it is. It sucks, but what else can you do?
