Unfortunatley, the situation you describe is not uncommon. An insuracne company has the duty to investigate a claim on behalf of their policy holder. However, if the policy holder will not cooperate in the adjuster's investigation and handling of the accident, then the insurance company can refuse to provide the protection of his insurance policy.
That is bad news for you because the adjuster will not move forward on your claim.
When this happens, you have to treat the other driver as an uninsured motorist. Therefore, you may have to report the accident to your own auto insurance carrier. If you have uninusred motorist coverage, then they will step in and take the place of the other driver's insurance.
