re: How much am I getting sued for with this much damage?

I don’t think there was any mention of injuries at all quite frankly, just a little freaked out about the quick calling of the police, and need for a police report on something where there’s barely more damage than a shopping cart running into a car in a lot.

She'll get a police report and say she feels fine. Then in a few weeks your insurance will call and tell you she needs back surgery, neck surgery, chiropractor visits, and counseling for her pain and suffering, so you're getting sued for all that.

Wouldn’t a police report help prevent that?

Looks like the car is in a parking lot.
Not sure about where you live but in Alabama the cops don't even do reports on vehicle collisions on private property (i.e. parking lots). You just call your insurance company and exchange info.

Well, that's what you do. I got tapped in the back in afternoon 285 traffic in Atlanta a couple of months back and I was on the phone to the police while I was getting my license, insurance, and registration together. By the time I had gotten out of the car I had already called my insurance. The sooner you call the cops the sooner you are back on your way. Think about it, what is the point of standing around for 10 minutes before calling the cops. Both sides want a police report as it generally makes the process smoother.
Call the cops, get your documents ready, don't talk to the other person outside of non-related small talk and get pictures of the area and the damage (or lack thereof) to each car. I would note if you are hit and the driver stays in their car get a picture of their license plate first. In the case with my bump up the other driver was out of their car so they couldn't drive off quickly.
There is no point stressing there is every likelihood it will be a matter taken care of between the insurance companies and your only contact will be with your insurance company without anyone serving you with a summons and complaint.

She probably needs the police report for the claim.
My vehicle was nailed in a parking lot years ago. The guy that hit me left a note (only because someone we both know so him hit my car). I had a cop write a report, the guy's insurance company ended up needing it since the guy refused to answer their calls.
Nothing to freak out about, most likely the woman your wife hit has either been in an accident before or is close enough to someone who has to know that's what she needed to do.

You're a tard, dude. You ALWAYS get a police report when possible. I ain't dealing with he-said-she-said bullshite when somebody starts trying to duck responsibility. More than happy to let somebody pay out-of-pocket to not hit their insurance but...

I got news for you, you don't know shite. That's a MINIMUM $1,000 repair, and that's just to repaint it. If she's got parking sensors in that bumper that you damaged (which you can't tell from just looking at it), you can add several hundred dollars more. Fortunately for your family member, it doesn't appear to.
Sack up. Your family member hit her, not the other way around.
