We were in an accident in a parking lot. the police report says that we are equally responsible for the accident because we both failed the yield the right of way. His insurance company is only going to pay half my damages. I wasn't covered by my boyfriend's insurance. the other driver's insurance wants me to pay them the full amount in damages to the other vehicle.

I do not understand why your boyfriend's insurance is denying payment. Were you using the car with his permission? Does he have coverage? Were you unlicensed at the time? If one insurer has paid 50% that is an admission that you are only 50% liable, so you are certainly within your rights to offer only 50%.
