If the amnesia is as a result of the accident (Concussion / head injury) then it is usually not considered that you are trying to defraud the insurance company as it is a legitimate consequence of the injury you received.

I recently had an auto accident and bumped my head and have amnesia from about two hours before the accident to two hours after the accident which was confirmed with a CT scan of my head showing mild bruising. The insurance company told me to complete the claim form to the best of my ability and there have been no issues with the claim.

If the amnesia is a result of being intoxicated (Drunk, drugs etc) then you most likely will not be covered by insurance as almost all policies state that a person in control of a vehicle is not covered while under the influence. You could also face legal action for driving under the influence. If you were taken to hospital you would most likely had to provide a blood sample to check for alcohol / drugs and if this test came back positive you would have been lectured by the medical staff and likely had a visit from the police.
