Toyota Camry: Can I use shape of dent to prove other driver at fault?

What does the Police Report say ?? ?? You DID file a report didn't you
?? ?? If you were standing still and the other guy struck you, it's got
to be his fault .. .. .. The police always narrate their report to
reflect what they were told by the parties involved. If it says you were
stopped and he was backing up, you can't lose.

didn't you 

No one called the police. They won't come to a fender-bender in a
parking lot unless someone was injured or the incident escalated into
violence. At the time the other guy was apologetic and cooperative.
It wasn't until later (after the old fellow's son got into the
picture) that the mysterious 'witnesses' showed up and the other
driver changed his story.

Now my husband and I are dealing with an outside insurance arbitrator
and in the process of putting together our case. WE can't get the DMV
reports, or the insurance company's reports, or the statements of the
other parties involved, but the arbitrator can.

I have to prove that I am right and three other people are wrong. We
have diagrams of the parking lot and pictures of the dent. I'd like
to know if there is a way of looking at the dent and proving that my
car was sitting still when the accident occurred. We've heard that a
dent can be 'read' - that someone with experience can tell if both
vehicles were moving or only one vehicle moving. I'd like to know if
that's true, and if so, how does one go about presenting this
evidence? Are there specially trained people whose word would carry
weight with the arbritrator? Or would the word of the auto body shop
suffice?

True Story . My dad was trying to park at the grocery store lot, a
kid in a mustang pulled in and took the spot , my dad and the kid got
out the kid said ' This is what you can do when you are young and
quick" My dad got in his Cadillac Deville and rammed the car,
got out and said " this is what you can do when your old and rich"
They have witnesses? and you dont have 500. Ok, next case.

And the moral of todays story. Waite your turn.

can't understand why you can't get DMV report. Should be public info; also
all witnesses should be public.

Your own insurance company should provide support in this situation.

info; also 

Our DMV doesn't provide the reports as of last year due to privacy
issues. Our insurance company also gave the same reason for not
providing written reports, however they did verbally give me a quick
rundown of what was said, but they wouldn't give me the names of the
witnesses because I didn't have that info to begin with.

My husband went to the manager of the building where the collision
took place, she said she was on vacation when the incident happened,
but that she'd "heard rumors" about it from her staff (This is an
Assisted Living facility where my MIL lives - the other driver was
there visiting friends and we were going over to collect MIL to take
her shopping). The manager provided a blueprint of the parking lot
but wouldn't give any other information. We have been reluctant to
make a scene because MIL is in very poor health and we don't want her
to feel stuck in the middle.
