You 'laid her down?'. Generally avoidable, especially with ABS. If you didn't actually hit her, how would anyone know just how close you were? Your skill level determines that. Did you panic? Did you brake suddenly on a slippery patch of oil? Too many variables to throw blame on the other driver.
Minor damage to bike? Pay up out of pocket and consider it a lesson learned.
This happened to me once, a lady turned left in front of me. I would've hit her for sure and bike went down. She stopped, cried, and admitted she didn't see me and offered to pay damages. I ordered parts, showed her the receipt and she paid up (she never told her husband!). I also told her she was damn lucky I wasn't injured and could do the repairs myself.
