My wife had an accident several days ago. At the accident site, the police officer listened to my wife and the other party. But today we got a copy of police report and it only mentioned the other party's argument. What should we do?

Specifically, my wife and the other party both argued that they saw green light in the intersection. But the police officer said that my wife turned on red light, which is only the other party's argument.

Is it possible to fix this error?

No, but no need to. A police report is nothing but a statement by the officer of the results of his investigation. If he got the facts wrong you will have the chance to try to persuade your insurance company or the court what the true story is.

Agree with AK Lawyer - I'm an investigator. I pull Police Reports all the time. The Police don't get into anything (in NY) but the circumstances that caused the accident.

Anyway, the Police Officer's "opinion" would hold no more weight than that of any other witness - if he/she actually observed the behavior.
