My only thought would be to track down the reporting source of this incident, then acquire as much detail as you can. It can be from a police report, or a shop. Carfax is basically a data gathering service, so it'll report what it receives.
From what I've read, I don't think there's any recourse in the court of law.
This guy was able to talk to a higher up @ Carfax.

This one...I hope this is what you are experiencing.
“We went to trade in my wife's Lexus IS250 and the dealer tells us that the Carfax report shows that our car had been a in a severe accident, therefore the value of the car is much less,” Mario wrote in a ConsumerAffairs post. “The report did not have a date, just stated that the accident occurred in 2010 and was not reported. Our car has never been in an accident. I contacted Carfax and their answer was that the information came from a police crash report and provided a case number. Well, I checked the crash report number and it doesn't exist!”

Once I hear back from carfax, Ill actually be contacting the dealership the car came from, in Colorado. See if I can actually get the information I need.
Im fairly certain I have little to no options but selling privately and telling the potential buyers what the deal is.
None of the other sites recorded an accident and the original carfax doesnt so Im going to go with those honestly.
