As it stands you haven't really got a choice, with no witnesses you are screwed and the best you can hope for is really a 50/50.
Would you sign something on the scene of accident? Nobody is dumb these days and would not sign anything on the scene.
Police simply shrug their shoulders by saying that insurance companies will decide the liability. Insurance / claim mgx companies can request for detailed police report to see if officer has made any comment on the report, if & when all the other methods exhaust. That is the only benefit of calling the Police out.

Hope you get it all sorted.

Mega, Sorry to hear. I'd work on the above as suggested. Depending on the area, try to find a CCTV camera and then video.

Unfortunately, cliam management companies do not do much in your favour and you have to do a lot.
