A police report is written incorrectly and the officer will not change. What process is needed to dispute the report.
would like to know what kind of paperwork we can file on our own if possible. There is insurance involved that may help but due to no money to pay out if it is our fault and a few thousand if it is our fault i want to push the issue on my own more so it doesn’t get dragged feet by insurance companies.

I am assuming that you basically have a police report stating you were at fault? A police report is one piece of the puzzle. Did the officer witness the accident? If so, you may be out of luck. If not, has there been someone looking at the damage to both vehicles to determine who hit whom?
You may need to hire a lawyer unfortunately. Are you being sued by the other party? Your insurance may cover the hiring of such an attorney. Try www.attorneypages.com.
