Believe it or not, police do not determine who is At Fault the insurance companies involved do. They use information given to them from the police department, such as violations or speed information, but the police can not determine fault or liability. Order of listing vehicles on the report has no determination of anything

Who determines a fault in a parking lot case if the police did not assign the fault?
Police don't always determine the fault especially the private property incidents. What the police report usually does is tell the facts of what happened and what any witnesses say they saw as well so in situations where no tickets are issued or cause of fault is listed the insurance companies will get together and determine the fault. Sometimes when two cars back into each other there may just be levels of fault whereby each party may be partly at fault which never benefits anybody.
