Should you report an accident that wasn't your fault if you do not have insurance?

Of course. If, as you say, the other driver is completely at-fault, that driver's insurance would still owe for your damages, whether you carry insurance or not. Look at it this way: You have insurance, another driver backs into you, he's at-fault. You make a claim with his insurance and never even notify your own carrier. It's basically the same thing (though it's somewhat crazy to be driving around without insurance. If you plan to continue this, I hope you have some major assets you can liquidate when the bills start pouring in).

No.

Someone hit you an Neither I or other driver has insurance on our car who is at fault?
Who is at fault has to do with the accident itself not the insurance coverage. A police report of the accident and looking at the proximate cause of the accident help determine fault.
If you had an accident and it wasnt your fault does it go in your driving record?
If the police came out and made a report of it then it will be on your driving record. It will be a not-at-fault accident but it will still be on your driving record. If the police did not come out but your insurance knows about it then it will be on your CLUE report and be a not-at-fault accident.
What if the driver at fault will not call their insurance company to report the accident?
If the other party is refusing to call their insurance company - then you should call their insurance company and file the claim.
Do you have to call your insurance company if your car was not at fault?
The terms of your Insurance Contract always require that you report an accident regardless of fault. This is because even though you do not consider yourself to be at fault, the other driver may report the accident to them anyway. Better to be safe than sorry.
Can an insurance company decide who is at fault when a police report has been filed?
An insurance company can assign fault regardless if a police report is filed or not. A police report is simply a report made by a neutral party at an accident scene. I believe there have been cases where insurance companies have assigned fault to one party when the opposing party was initially named at fault in a report.
What can you do if you were ticketed in an accident and found not guilty in court but your insurance company had already paid the other driver's claim and increased your premium?
You will need to open a consumer complaint with ChoicePoint and get the accident fault indicator changed to N.A.F.(not at fault) on your CLUE report. Then notify your Insurance company after your CLUE report is corrected. Then the company will remove the premium impact of an "at fault" accident.
What happens if the at fault party of an accident refuses to contact his insurance company to report it?
You only need to report it if you are expecting some compensation.,
If your air bags blow out in an accident that is not your fault will you recover damages?
You should contact the at fault party's insurance company and let them know you have a property damage claim. You will need an accident report. Photos of the damage or an estimate for repair will also be helpful.
Handle the insurance after a hit and run and did not see driver but have licence plate number but only have liability insdurance?
Car insurance in general is not built for you when you are not at fault in an accident. You should complete a police report and and contact an attorney to help sue the at-fault party. If you have just liability you are not paying your insurance company for help in this matter. Liability pays for the damage you cause when you are at-fault in an accident.
Are you still at fault if the other person does not have insurance?
Yes, If the accident was your fault, then it is your fault. Whether or not they have insurance has nothing to do with who's at fault, or who actually caused the accident.
