pretty hard for the airbag to deploy I would say, 20 mph plus
Is there any manual or article i can refer to for this?

Make it absolutely beyond question that you pulled out and only then as you were driving away did she hit you in the rear. For evidence that she didn't brake (or not hard enough) photo's of the scene with a distinct lack of tyre skid marks should suffice. Be prepared for it to not come out 100% in your favour - it never does in the UK.
Yes ofcourse i did.... I also sent them a lot of pictures.



As you can see she only hit my rear bumper and rear rim. But she didnt directly hit me from behind because my car was in a small angle. (like in the picture of my first post)
