You need to go and file an amended police report that states your version of the accident. Since the police officer was not present he can only report what is reported to him/her. If there were witnesses to the event that support your version you can list them on the new report as well. By filing the new report it shows that you took steps to correct what you state are inaccuracies in the filed police report. It looks good for you if you are filing a claim but it does not meanthat the new report takes the place of the one filed by the police. That is the official report. Unfortunately people don't always tell the truth.
