How can you prove fifty percent liability if you the police report says you are 100 percent at fault?
Liablity decisions are not based solely on the police report. Your insurance adjuster should investigate every aspect of the loss. If you want to provide details of the accident perhaps I could assist you with this. In short, how you prove fifty percent, is just that you (your adjuster) must prove that the other party contributed to this accident. Just because the police report says 100% does not mean that the claim will be settled that way.

On the police report is it the first vehicle listed the one that is at fault?
Believe it or not, police do not determine who is at fault the insurance companies involved do. They use information given to them from the police department, such as violations or speed information, but the police can not determine fault or liability. Order of listing vehicles on the report has no determination of anything
How do you appeal a police accident report that said you were at fault even though you were DEFINITELY not?
Your insurance company is going to review the police report, your statements, and the statements of witnesses and the other party. After they review that they will make a determination of fault and decide to accept liability or not on your behalf. If you think that you were not at fault in the accident make sure that you file a claim against the other persons insurance.
Handle the insurance after a hit and run and did not see driver but have licence plate number but only have liability insdurance?
Car insurance in general is not built for you when you are not at fault in an accident. You should complete a police report and and contact an attorney to help sue the at-fault party. If you have just liability you are not paying your insurance company for help in this matter. Liability pays for the damage you cause when you are at-fault in an accident.
Can an insurance company decide who is at fault when a police report has been filed?
An insurance company can assign fault regardless if a police report is filed or not. A police report is simply a report made by a neutral party at an accident scene. I believe there have been cases where insurance companies have assigned fault to one party when the opposing party was initially named at fault in a report.
Who is at fault without a police report?
A police report does not define who is at fault. That requires some investigation by either the insurance company or the police themselves; however, unless you make a claim or a report, neither will investigate and the accident will not officially have happened.
Can you be suit if theres no police report done in an accident?
Yes. Although a court would consider such a report as highly valuable in determining the nature of an accident, and while it may be very helpful to a court in determining fault, there is no legal requirement for a police report to be done in order for civil liability to be assessed from an accident.
I was in a car accident. The lady was at fault and since I did not get a police report AAA said that I was 50% fault. Can I get the other 50% from my coverage even though I do not have full liability?

If the police came out and made a report of it then it will be on your driving record. It will be a not-at-fault accident but it will still be on your driving record. If the police did not come out but your insurance knows about it then it will be on your CLUE report and be a not-at-fault accident.
