A few things.
1st did you get his plate and info? Is the damage over the report requirement? ($2500.00 per vehical where I live) Call the police and report the crash, tell them you didn't think the damage was over the report limit. Also tell them you can't get in touch with the other party to warn him.
2nd If you are under the report limit Sue him in small claims court, tell the truth, make sure the Judge knows that the other guy has been avoiding you and won't pay after agreeing to. If you are unable to notify him because of this make sure you can tell the judge how you tried.
Finally If you are over the report and Police refuse to intervene, get your insurance company involved anyway.
I assume that you mean a rented vehicle with an unlisted driver having an accident. If you allow an unlisted driver to operate the vehicle then the person who signed the rental agreement will be responsible for damages because he allowed the unauthorized to drive.

It is highly unlikely.
You get to, accident would not have happened if you werent on the road!
They can, but you can sue the other driver for damages.
Liability insurance financially protects a driver who is not a fault in an accident by paying for damages. It will protect the driver who is at fault from being sued for damages.
Typically, the uninsured driver will be cited for it, and your insurance co. is liable for the damages.
The driver at fault is always responsible for damages incurred during an accident. The at fault insurance company is responsible for damages to your car.
Get a lawyer. You can recover damages from his estate but it needs to be filed before the estate clears probate.
The person who is responsible for the accident should accept that responsibility and place a claim with their insurer or make a written agreement with the damaged party to reimburse them for their loss. The problem is in this case the "at fault" driver has no way to determine if the amount requested is valid. The "at fault" driver should under no circumstances render any monies until valid proof of damages and agreement on the amount that is to be paid has been submitted in writing and signed by all involved parties (driver of vehicle during accident, owner of vehicle, etc.).
The driver in the end should be responsible.
