First, your insurance carrier should be handling this for you. That is why you have insurance. If she does file suit against you, speak to an attorney immediately, even if your carrier does defend the action from their position. Given the likely difficultly of prevailing on the merits of her case, though, I doubt this will ever mature into anything serious.
If it does, we are busy and probably not able to take on another client matter at this time; I would, however, be more than happy to chat with you on the phone and, if unable to assist you ourselves, I certainly can refer you to several other excellent firms and attorneys.

Low impact collisions in newer cars with energy-asorbing bumper systems can be severe at times.
She will have to present solid medical evidence that her back problems are solely as a direct consequence of the collision.
Why is your insurance company not handling this?
