Granny got taken advantage of, but not by her insurance--the situation is irrelevant.

The point is, this now counts as points against her driving record as well as insurance claims record. I don't believe that ANYONE should be required to sign anything at the scene of an accident. There is too much stress and too much adrenaline and usually injuries ranging from mild to severe for anyone to be able to accurately relay to a police officer what happened. The effect is known as the body going into SHOCK.
Just wait until you get rear ended by an 18 wheeler or some yahoo in a four wheel drive two ton pick em up truck takes you head on and then try to accurately relay to the police exactly what happened IMMEDIATELY after the accident.
