This would depend on which state you live in, and whether or not your required by state law to carry medical coverage (PIP) on your policy.

If you do carry PIP coverage, you would go through your own carrier for medical bills, even if you weren't at-fault for the accident.

If not, the other carrier would need to pick them up (assuming their driver was at-fault). You might also have a bodily injury claim against the other driver.

Keep in mind that if your state is a "no fault" state (ie, requires PIP medical coverage on auto policies), you don't get to choose to go to your own carrier or the other. Your own carrier MUST pick up your medical bills.

In Ontario you got to your own insurance company

What should you do if a victim of a simple car accident claims injuries?

If a victim of a simple car accident claims injuries, it is best to talk to your insurance as soon as possible. Your insurance company will then require that the victim's insurance company provides proof of injury. If it is found that the victim is injured, your insurance company will instruct you on the next course of action.


What to do if someone is falsely claiming they were injured in a car accident?

It is not clear from your question why it would even concern you, or why you would have to do anything, if someone is falsely claiming that they were injured in a car accident. If, however, they falsely claimed that you had injured them by causing the car accident in question, even then it is more likely to be the concern of your insurance company, than of you personally. The insurance company is likely to require a medical examination to get at the truth of the matter.


If you rear-end someone who has no insurance and wasn't wearing their seat-belt can they sue you?

Of course, people can sue for anything. If you haven't turn in the claim to your insurance company do it NOW. If the person without a seatbelt is injured there could be some comparative neglience assigned to them for their own injury. Unless your state has a statute barring uninsured drivers from recovery, the fact that they are uninsured is immaterial. If you caused the accident and are at fault, you, therefore, owe the injured innocent for their damages.
