I can only speak for Florida because that is where I live and it is a no fault State. In Florida it really would make no difference to you if the other driver did not inform his insurance company of an accident.

Many health insurance companies offer what is called "Pay and Chase". Meaning, your health insurance company will pay your hospital claims and chase the automotive insurance for the rest of the money. It is possible that you may have this type of plan.
