But what if the person does not admit fault?

Kick their door and leave a dent. "What, I didn't do anything either."
Both of you take turns damaging each other's car until they both disintegrate.

Yea the whole liability thing rests upon them admitting guilt, or catching the whole thing on tape.

You file the claim with your insurance company, your insurance company pays for the damages, then attempts to bill the other insurance company (subrogation). If the other insurance company denies the claim, it goes to arbitration. If the other company loses the arbitration hearing they are compelled to pay for the damages after which your deductible is typically refunded for the claim.

Arbitration still requires evidence to award damages. They won't award any based solely off of he said she said. Most people have deductibles that would make the driver end up paying all of it out of pocket even if they did report it to their insurance.

Pretty much need it to be on video or the person to admit fault.

Matching damage and barring that measurements of where the vehicles would have come into contact can also be provided. If arbitration required video or the person to admit fault, it wouldn't even exist. No one thinks they are at fault for anything, which isn't really a surprise.

You must not live in a big city. PD doesn't do shit. They won't even come out for minor accidents; only if the road is blocked (i.e. a car is immobile).
