When you had the accident you and the other driver should have exchanged insurance company details and your names and addresses. If you didn't do it then, and there was a police report filed, you can probably get a copy of the police report. But you tell your insurance company you were hit,and give them the details of the other driver and their insurance company (I hope they had one!) and they negotiate liability with the other person's insurance company. Usually, like a rear-ending, fault is pretty obvious; sometimes not. But that's part of the reason you pay your insurance: so they can take care of stuff like this for you. Phil

How do you make an insurance claim when someone hits you if you dont have insurance and they do?
You don't need to have insurance to collect on an insurance policy. Just call their claims department and they will get it started.The only issue is that in some states, such as New York, insurance is mandatory in order to register an automobile and be able to drive it. If you are in such a state, and you file a claim for an accident in which you did not have insurance, you could well be charged for driving without insurance and you would probably lose your license.
