Finding an At Fault Driver's Insurance Information

[jt3mcguire]

There's a huge problem I see in personal injury auto accident cases:

When there is an accident and the at fault driver is different than the at fault owner of the car, the police only list a very limited amount of information about the at fault driver, (D.O.B., address, phone number, DL#) but they do not provide the person's insurance information.

I believe the only method available to lookup a person's insurance information is directly through the DMV Insurance Request, but they will only provide the vehicle owner's information and not the at fault driver's!

The at fault driver's insurance is mandated to provide coverage for this type of accident, but yet there is no way to access this information, other than doing an underground type of investigation on the person to try and find it.

Does anyone know the statutes governing this or have a solution to this huge problem?

From your post I think you are in USA, but this site is UK based so unlikely to be much assistance to you
(Department of Motor Vehicles is USA equivalent of our Driver and Vehicle licensing Agency)

Good luck anyway

I actually work for a legal research firm that offers a service we call Policy Existence, and we take the extra time to not only trace the policy LIMITS, but the policy itself.
