Accident

I just had an accident with my lovely rover 75

I was leaving the parking area of the Gym and when i was leaving the parking place i got hit by an young lady who wasnt paying attention at all. (and possibly driving too hard)(she also didnt brake)

She wasnt in sight when i was leaving the parking area and my car was already fully on the parking lot when i got hit.

She hit me quite hard because the passenger side airbag deployed in my car (there was no passenger in the seat though. Only my bag)

See damage in picture..... my rim is bent to the inside (cant drive my car) and my rear bumper is damaged pretty badly.

Keep in mind she was driving a 2009 model ford Ka (805 Kg).
The insurance company told me i was responsible because she had priority......

But she was not in sight when i was leaving so she must have been driving too hard for a parking lot (max 15km/h in the Netherlands). But i guess i will have to prove it in some way

.

So my question is how hard does she have to drive in order to deploy the side airbag of my passenger seat?
Also keep in mind that i was also driving forward at that time (arround 15km/h) when she hit me.
