You don't have to be "on" her insurance as long as she says you were an authorized driver and she was not otherwise required to name you as an additional driver on her car. If the other insurance company is rejecting the claim on these grounds, then she can file a claim with her insurance and let the two insurance companies duke it out, but she could be out her deductible until there is an admission of liability. Therefore, it may be worthwhile to hire an attorney who can get the ball rolling.
