Best Answer

Yes, if you seek to have your car repaired under the collision coverage, or seek other compensation from your own insurer. The insurance policy will require that notice be furnished within a "reasonable" time or "as soon as practicable". These are malleable terms and depend upon the totality of circumstances.

In return for payment under your own insurance policy, the insurer acquires subrogation rights. This means that the insurer inherits your right to pursue the at-fault party/its insurer to recover that which it paid to you.

First, you cannot find out what insurance company another person uses as this is a privacy issue.

This is your only option for getting the insurance company name, unless the person wishes to tell you.

How do you make an insurance claim when someone hits you?

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

If you have basic insurance someone is faulted by hitting your car what should be done?

You will need to make a report to both insurance companies. Even though you are not at fault your insurance company will still want to know. Unless the other party takes the blame right away and tells there insurance company that it was there fault then you do not need to tell your insurance. But I always recommend that you always talk to your insurance company about the accident.
