My daughter ran in to the back of another driver in December. Even though the other driver slammed on her brakes at an orange light and stopped on the other side of the intersection, our insurance company had to pay for the repairs because when you hit someone in the rear you are at fault no matter what the circumstances.

I would push for replacement cost from the other driver's insurance company. Since this is not your fault they should cough up at least that much. Push them hard and maybe they will pay.
