This isn't a matter of fair, it's a matter of some stranger bringing a claim against their policyholder and the insurance company having a duty to investigate all claims and protect their insured. Doesn't matter if they have the police report, it doesn't prove anything. They have to speak to both the policy holder and the driver for a statement and to verify the accident happened and without it they will not pay you anything. If they refuse to cooperate then yes your claim can be denied. The adjuster was correct in telling you to go thru your insurance, that's why you have it. What are your rights? 1) Mitigate your damage as required by law, 2) you can sue the girl.
