It won't always help with insurance, but it can. I was once hit by a driver who admitted to me and the responding officer that it was her fault. When I spoke with her insurance, they said they weren't going to pay because she stated the accident was my fault. I gave them the report number and told them it would be available in a few days. About a week later, they called me back and asked where I wanted to get my car fixed.
