I was in a two-vehicle accident, and unfortunately I forgot to exchange insurance information with the other driver. Is there any way I can see their insurance policy? How do I check if a car has insurance?

I’m so sorry about your accident! Luckily, if you’re trying to confirm another driver’s insurance, you have a few options.
The easiest way is to ask them directly—but if you forgot, don’t despair! Contact your local police non-emergency line to get their insurance information from the accident report, or check with the DMV, which has information on all insured drivers.
Once you have their information, contact your insurance provider. From there, you should be able to file a claim.
