Sure. On your insurance application that you fill out when applying for auto insurance you agree that you are reporting any and all accidents and tickets. Most likely the insurance company will find out anyway through a system call C.L.U.E. If you are truthful to the agent when shopping for insurance they can usually give you a better rate based on the information given.

Let your insurance company know everything that you know about the accident and about what the other person's insurance company has proposed, and then let your insurance company handle the rest. If the other person was 100% at fault for the accident, your insurance company has a very powerful incentive to reject the counter-party settlement offer of a 50/50 split.

If you have collision coverage on your vehicle you can collect from your insurance company for the damages.

What happens if the other driver fails to inform his insurance after an accident?
I can only speak for Florida because that is where I live and it is a no fault State. In Florida it really would make no difference to you if the other driver did not inform his insurance company of an accident. Really, you would only have to file a claim with your own company and contact his insurance company after the accident. I would just make sure you have the other drivers info so that you can contact them about the accident.
