Insurance contracts in all countries are subject to the same basic law that governs all types of contracts but also to some legal principles that have been developed to handle the legal problems associated with insurance. Beyond the necessary contractual conditions, certain elements are peculiar to the insurance policy.
Generally an insurance policy is unilateral and only the insurer is obligated to act. It is also a conditional aleatory contract.
As a contract of "utmost good faith" (uberrimae fidei) a certain degree of honesty is presumed from both parties. This principle imposes a higher standard of honesty-on the two parties than is usually expected in an ordinary contract.
To avoid a contract a "warranty" (a statement contained in the contract and requires that a particular condition exists) must be false, or a "misrepresentation" (a statement made by the insured to the insurer on which the latter relies to price the contract) must be false and materially important. Concealment of these factors will be considered to be made with intent to deceive . The insured has an obligation to inform the insurer about facts that may be materially important.

Does a 17 year old driver have to give a statement to the insurance company if he was not at fault in an accident?

Yes, It's part of your insurance contract that you signed when you applied for coverage. All insurance contract terms require that a statement be given by any and all parties regardless of age so that the Insurance Company can determine who is at fault. Refusal of a statement can cause you to be found liable by default of your insurance contract. It makes you sound guilty as you seem to have something to hide. It's usually the at fault party who is is afraid or refuses to give a statement. In these circumstances you will generally be determined at fault and will be entered in your insurance record and you insurer will have to pay the other party for all damages up to your policy limit. Refusal to honor the terms of your contract by not giving an accident statement can also cause your insurer to cancel your policy and you may have difficulty finding another insurance company in the future as your driving record will indicate that you are uncooperative and you have violated the terms your previous insurance contract.
