My 19 y/o son hit a car head on that was sitting in his lane, facing him, on the other side of a blind hill at night. He was driving 35 in a 25mph zone but did not receive a ticket and was told by the officer that he was not at fault. However the officer did not state fault in his report.

Presuming the questioner meant conclusive rather than inconclusive, an insurance company may determine liability based on whatever evidence they have. There is no requirement the evidence be conclusive. If an insured or third party disagrees with the insurance company's determination of liability they should seek the advice of an attorney.
