How can you fight a finding of fault in an auto accident?

My husband was involved in an auto accident 12 days ago. He went through a yellow light and hit a car that was turning left. Our car was totaled and I’m not sure how much damage the other vehicle sustained. The police report puts him at fault. Our insurance only covers $10,000 per car and the other driver had a year old model. He wants to fight the charges. What course of action should we take?
