My car was backed into, but it had pre existing damage?

Question:
A woman backed into my new car and caused a few fairly large dents. She immediately admitted fault, and signed a paper saying she was at fault for the damages to my car. The only thing is, there was already a dent almost exactly where the new damage was caused. Will her insurance still want to pay for the damage she caused, since the previous damage is so close to the new damage?

Just let the other company do what they do. At worst they will pay just for the new damage.
