Sorry to read of your off.
As for your question. It used to be considered 50-50 because of a precedent set in the courts years ago. But lately the view has been that you were conducting a perfectly legal manoeuvre and she failed to carry out sufficient observations resulting in the accident.
Talk to a specialist solicitor and hold her 100% liable. The insurance company will no doubt refer to this old test case. But if using someone like White Dalton they should be more clued up.
Best of luck and rember it is not only the damage to your bike, but also your gear, cost of hiring a replacement bike etc.
