More details to this question:
I offered the other driver money and he accepted cash. A police officer that I had called in the event a written report needed to be made witnessed the acceptance of the verbal agreement. Can the report of the police officer stand in court against the other driver?

Could, but good luck with him remembering any details. You made a poor choice dealing with someone to avoid an insurance claim and paying in cash with no documentation. While you can tell your insurance carrier of the deal and yourpayment, they may still pay out and hold you responsible since you have no real evidence of the payment.
