If you have their driver's license number or the license plate number from their car, you can call the Division of Motor Vehicles for your state to obtain insurance information. From there, follow that company's procedure for reporting a claim. You could report the loss to your own insurance carrier and even make a claim if you think the damages exceed your deductible. Your insurance company would then contact the insurance carrier for the other party and make a claim to recover any amounts they had paid you, including your deductible. This is called subrogation.

What do you do if the driver who hit you does not agree to contact their insurance company and they have the same insurance company and agent as me?
Talk to your agent and ask them for assistance with the matter. The insurance company has an obligation to get there insured side but the insured has an obligation to assist the company in the investigation of the claim. If the insured does not assist in the investigation then coverage can be voided. I imagine that the driver is not the policy holder in this case but you didn't give that fact. After a reasonable amount of time and after reasonable attempts to contact the driver the adjuster can and should make their determination of liability with the information that is in hand, meaning the police report and any other information. If they do not make reasonable efforts to investigate the claim the other insured can actually sue the insurance company for not properly defending them. Most adjusters are just like everybody else and want to get their job done correctly, get you paid properly, and close the case. Reasonable time on this would be 7-10 business days at the most barring unusable circumstances. This would give them time to call and send a registered letter. If there has been a police report submitted to your insurance company, Both the Police and your insurance company will locate his carrier. There is really no way to get away from it. A Police Officer can get an awful lot of information from a driver's license number and a registration (plate) number, If they have the same company, I reeally do not know how that would be handled. Either way, the single insurance company is going to pay for any damages.

How much is the fine for letting a unlicense driver drive your car in New Jersey from a insurance company?
Insurance companies do not fine anyone for any reason. However, if you allow a person who does not have a license drive your vehicle it is most likely a violation of the terms of your insurance policy which is a legally binding contract. In the contract you most likely have agree to report any drivers to the insurance company and not to allow anyone who is unlicensed to drive your vehicle. By violating the terms of the contract the company will most likely not cover any damages caused while the vehicle is being operated by unlicensed driver. This will void the policy completely. Why would you want to do this for any reason?

What is an Auto Accident Attorney?
Auto accident attorneys represent individuals involved in car accidents. These attorneys can represent plaintiffs or defendants and may be hired by a driver’s insurance company to represent the driver or the insurance company. Plaintiffs’ automobile accident lawyers are available for those that have suffered injuries in a car wreck. The lawyers will consider the case and if there is a potential lawsuit. If so, auto accident attorneys will notify the other party or parties in the wreck. The case may never go to court and the auto accident attorneys may work out a settlement that all involved parties agree to. Defense lawyers for car accidents will assist parties that are being sued after an auto accident. An auto accident attorney that works on the defense side will attempt to show that there was no fault on the part of the driver he or she is representing or try to negotiate a lower amount that that person will have to pay for the accident and any injuries. An auto accident attorney may be retained or hired by an insurance company. Car insurance companies will hire attorneys on behalf of their clients as the attorneys will help reduce the liability costs that the insurance company may have to bear after an accident. The auto accident attorney does this by working in a similar capacity as he or she would as a defense attorney. The aim is to settle for an acceptable amount or demonstrate that there was little or no fault on the driver being sued. Additionally, an insurance company’s auto accident attorney may work to recover costs from another driver or insurance company. The auto accident attorney functions like an attorney for a plaintiff. The car accident lawyer pursues payment of costs incurred by the insurance company in covering damage or injury suffered by the driver. As a result, the driver that was not at fault gets all repair costs paid for, but the insurance company recovers that money from the driver that was at fault without the driver without fault having to wait for a settlement.
