Do I file a claim with her insurance company? I do have a police report.

It doesn't matter whether you have insurance because your girlfriend was at fault in the accident. Yes, you should file a claim with your girlfriend's insurance company. You do not need the police report, although if the insurance company requests a copy, it would probably be best to provide it.
