I am in a bit of a pickle. My car was involved in an accident in NY a few months back. The police report has a Policy Number and expiration date for the other driver but it is missing the insurance code. Apparently this is how you find out what company they were insured by ? I spoke to the responding officer as well as my insurance company and nobody is able to figure out 1. If the driver is even insured 2. If they are insured, what company they are using. My insurance company has searched the VIN, Policy Number, and Plate number in their database and were unable pull any info.
Geico has sent a letter through the collections agency they use to the driver’s residence as it is stated on the report but who knows if they still live there or if they will respond (I doubt it).
So I guess my question is…Is there way to find out through the available info from the police report if this person actually has insurance and who the provider is? Geico said no but I don't know about that.
I am not looking for some exorbitant compensation and am not looking to bankrupt anyone due to an honest accident but I would like to try to get in touch with the insurance company to cover the cost of a rental car until my car repairs are complete (it could be up to another month or two) and I have already run out of my rental coverage under my own policy.
The policy number format is XXXXXXXX-XXXXXX. Anyone have an idea which insurance company uses this number format?
Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!
