well the G35 helps me to share his pain =(

Hope you get this resolved soon. This almost happened to me once, I had to go into the bumpy thing on the left side of the highway near the separator, and was using the horn nonstop to get the old woman's attention.

If it was a crap car I wouldn't be all to worried about it lol and I'd just let the insurance company do their thing, but since it's the 35 I kinda wanna speed it up

Depends where the damages on her car are. If they are on her left rear light only, then it's pretty clear she cut him off and was the cause of the accident.

HOWEVER, if the damages are along the whole rear end, then an argument might be made that she was already in the lane, and you didn't slow down and just rear ended her.

Is it clearly her fault. How can she discuss about that? lol

This fact can be easily confirmed by collision points on the cars.
However you can't speed up the process...simply be sure that you have writen everything clear in the incident declaration

Really in Alberta it comes down to how old you are vs how old she is. Speeding it up is near impossible, friend of mine in SK hit a couch with their truck that fell out of some guys truck on the highway took them a month to figure out who was at fault. If you are confident you will win this, get the car estimated for the repairs (unless the adjuster has taken a look at it and given you an estimate on how much they can cover) If this is the case then get the car fixed pay the money to get it fixed asap and then get the reinbursement when they make the decision. (Different provinces with different rules so check with them first if this will work out)

Um. The collision points actually show him at fault. If there's no witnesses they just go "oh you hit her from behind obv".
Pretty much what Chill said.

Good luck man, car accidents are a pita.
Actually, I just crashed too! I fell asleep while driving and even the crash didn't wake me up (yes, I was THAT tired).

If your impact point is indeed on her rear left bumper you're at a much larger advantage than if you just smashed into her rear. As people have said, its very hard to prove that you weren't at fault if it was a straight up rear ender. Did you get a police report at the time of the accident? I know in the US its very common to have the police inspect the scene of the crime, talk to the parties involved and submit their report for the insurance co's to see and that generally makes things a lot easier.

I actually got in an accident about a year ago where some lady on her cell phone rear ended me when I stopped because someone in front of me needed to turn left. The woman was driving a Benz so I figured we would get paid quick but it turned out she hadn't been paying her premiums and technically had no insurance. Then the insurance company tried to fuck us by saying our insurance didn't cover instances where the party at fault is uninsured. At that point we got a lawyer friend to call them up and that did speed things up a bit. That whole ordeal did take about 3 weeks though and the whole time me and my gf didn't have a car because we weren't sure if we would be reimbursed so I understand what you're going through. Call frequently to push them along and if they try to fuck you don't be afraid to fuck them back. You should get your car fixed if the illustration is true, even if that old lady is trying to cover up the fact she's too old to drive.

old lady

Ugh.... 90% of all near accidents I encounter are old ladies driving T_T

I don't really know what to do in this situation, but best of luck.
