Accidents and Insurance

At the scene of the accident, he should have provided you with his insurance information.  If not, contact him or the police to get it.  Then call his insurance company and tell them you want to make a claim on their insured's policy and give them his name and the date of the accident.  They will take some information from you, and an adjuster will likely call you back to take a statement regarding what happened, and what injuries and property damage you sustained.  That might take a couple of days until you hear from someone.  That will get the ball rolling.  Typically, the other driver's insurance does not pay bills as you go along with your treatment.  They wait until you are done or at least until they have a good idea of what your injuries are and what the costs will be, and they make you an offer, including the cost of the medical bills, any lost wages, your pain and suffering and any other injury-related medicl expenses.  Regarding your car, they will likely ask you to get a couple of estimates and send them in.  If your car is repairable, they should pay for the repairs.  If it is not, they will let you know that it is a "total loss", and they should pay you for the market value of the vehicle less any salvage value for parts that they deem are usable.
