Is this right? Rear ended their insurance asking for a lot of info?!?

Didn't know you had an ML. A little off-topic, maybe, but how did it hold up in the rear-ender? M-B products, of course, like Volvos, are known for an extremely strong, rigid crash-shell around the passenger area, and flexible crumple-zones in front and back (though that technology has now become commonplace).

btw, today most of the premium cars (including Lexus, BMW, Audi) are showing in IIHS tests to have similar levels of strength to Mercedes in terms of passenger area safety.

I won't dominate the thread with this, though.........back to the OT.

It's no mystery why the premium cars do so well, the super strong structures and the high curb weights go together. For example look at the similar weights of the C-class, IS, A4, 3 series sedans, they all weigh 3500-3700 pounds. These are not flyweight cars considering the smallish 179-183" lengths.
But not back to OT, let's return to OP's topic.
Hopefully his insurance company is working for him effectively, best of luck.

Yes I have a police report along with all of her info. Our statement of the accident was also recorded on the report. Well at least her first statement stating I "slammed on my brakes".
I spoke to my insurance agent again and she said State Farm would take care of it from here. I'm basicly filing it under uninsured motorist for now and when they settle with them it comes off of mine and I get my deductable back.
On another note. She said I backed into her. If so I must have been going in reverse at least 30-40mph to cause the damage it did. Really lady?!

I've had very good luck with State Farm. I was in a left hand turn lane coming up to a gas station and a kid turned left into the lane and stopped in front of me. It was on snow and I slid into her. She was cited. The State Farm adjuster handled it all and they had no issues working with the bodyshop of my choice.
Last year I had bats in my attic (that's a separate issue than my mental health) and State Farm had no issue working with and paying my remediation contractor.
