Doesn't make any difference in this case; she was rear-ended, so it was totally outside of her control regardless of whether or not she was on the phone. Besides, if your insurance denies a claim because you were on the phone - you need to start looking for a new insurance provider pronto! They can't deny your claim unless 1.) Talking on the phone while driving is against the law in your State, or 2.) There is a clause in the policy that prohibits you from talking on the phone while driving.
Glad your wife is OK, doc. It's amazing how well these cars take the damage. I was rear-ended pretty hard (by a Kia) in my wife's old E46 Coupe and while the Kia looked like it was totaled, the Coupe barely showed any damage at all. I also walked away from it without a single bruise.
