∙ 9y agoThe police arbitrarily chooses which car is considered Driver one and Driver two. You have to read the report to determine who is At Fault.

If it was you that fell asleep, you should go to the police before the police come to you.
Unlikely. Check the laws in your state. In Louisiana, there is a law known as the "No Pay No Play" law. That has to do with having liability coverage, though, not a driver's license.
The driver at fault is liable for the collision, regardless of the other driver's actions post-collision. The fleeing driver may later be brought up on Hit and Run or Leaving the Scene of an Accident charges, but that will not change the at fault liability.
You would normally name the police officer (driver) and his employer, e.g. the city or police department where he works.
I would let the police office know right away about this.
If this happened to me, I would find out what my insurance company can do and from there contact the police or file a civil or small claims suit. None, if the accident wasn't reported to the police.
Not sure what you are asking, do you mean on the police report?
Who is at fault has to do with the accident itself not the insurance coverage. A police report of the accident and looking at the proximate cause of the accident help determine fault.
The very first thing you do is report it to the police. Whether the car is "totaled" or not (a decision typically made by insurance adjusters), a police report is required for any automobile accident.
Someone was at fault if their was an accident. Just because you didn't get a ticket, doesn't mean that the Police Officer didn't cite one driver for the accident. The codes tell who is at fault. Police have become way to cautious about issuing tickets in accident situations because they don't want to be called to court in these situations. The codes on the accident report tell who is at fault.
Fault is typically determined by police reports and accident witness(es). In a rear end accident the vehicle striking another in the rear is typically at fault. With multiple cars it is up to the reporting police officer to determine fault.
