Officers assess each accident on a case by case basis. Officers make a determination as to the contributing factors in the accident, but they DO NOT determine fault. If you disagree with the final accident report, you should contact the officer to discuss your concerns. The officer has the final say in how the report is written. Who pays for damage and other related costs is a matter which must be determined in civil court and/or between insurance companies. You should contact your insurance agent and/or consult an attorney.
You may file against the other driver for no insurance by going to Hardin County Attorney Office located on the Public Square and completing a complaint form against the other driver. All the information you will need is contained in the accident report.
