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.
What should you do if you are not at fault but somehow the police accident report said that you were?
not final, you can contest the police�s report by hiring independent investigators. But, if the police say you were at fault you probably were according to the traffice rules and regulations.
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
If you had an accident and it wasnt your fault does it go in your driving record?
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.
If you are backing out of a parking spot and another person cuts in behind you to get into a parking space who is at fault if you back into them?
If you are both moving, the one at fault is whoever the police officer says is at fault on the accident report. That's all I can tell you with this information. I hope you called the police. They will say you backed into them and you will say they ran into you. Without a police report faulting one of you, the insurance company will say both are 50% at fault which means each pays for their own damage.
If you live in Louisiana on the police accident report is driver 1 or driver 2 typically at fault?
The police arbitrarily chooses which car is considered Driver one and Driver two. You have to read the report to determine who is at fault.

Police reports are not necessary, insurance companies can recreate the occurrence from the damage on the vehicle and determine who is at fault.
