More details to this question:
Involved in a motorcycle accident and suffered broken bones and head injury, the police filled a report that contains false statements, I was forced into medical treatment and induced into a coma prior to being evaluated I lost memory because of the drugs used. I had an accident investigator look at my motorcycle and his findings proved the police report was wrong also my medical records contained a report from the air evac company that said the police witnessed the accident, the police report says they responded to it. Also feel like my rights were violated do you think I have a case how do I go about it.

There often times are errors in medical and police reports. The time to "set the record" straight would be during any litigation process where the authors of the reports can be cross-examined. I once had a recovery room nurse write on her report that the patient who was sent there following a simple knee repair surgery left in satisfactory condition..when in fact, the doctor, during the simple knee surgery fractured the patient's femur at the hip joint! During cross examination of that nurse during her deposition, I was able to get her to admit that her note in the report was wrong.

You have a good potential case against the air evac company and the police, if you can prove the facts as you stated them. First, you should submit a claim in writing to both potential defendants. If they won't settle, you should consider filing a law suit.

I doubt it, unless you can prove that the air evac company was the cause of, or exacerbated your injuries.

You have a royal mess on your hands. everybody claims the accident report is wrong but it says what it says and the insurance co will rely on the error to confuse a judge and jury people who ride bikes don't get on very well with juries either. get you a good lawyer and see if he thinks you can make a claim.
