More details to this question:
I was in an accident, where I wasn't covered by ins until two hours later. The other party was covered, and failed to yield the right away. I was going down a side street with a bunch of ice, they were coming out of an alley turning right facing me. They kept coming out and I hit my breaks and slid into them.

While it can sometimes help your case with the insurance company whether a driver is given a traffic citation, such as failure to yield, does not change whether a driver is liable for an accident. If the other driver was at-fault for the accident, either the other driver or his/her insurance company is responsible for your injuries and damages. There is nothing you can do to "force" the police into giving the other driver a ticket. If you cannot get the other driver or the insurance company to pay you would have to file suit against the other driver and let a judge or jury decide who was at-fault and how much money, if any, you are entitled to.
