Types Of Not At Fault Insurance Claims
Basically, there are two types of not at fault insurance claims
Not At Fault - Insured
If you’re not at fault but you have comprehensive insurance on your vehicle, a not at fault claim can be made to your insurance company who will then contact the at fault driver’s insurance company to recover the costs.
Not At Fault - Uninsured
If you don’t have your own insurance and are involved in an accident that wasn’t your fault, it will be necessary to get the other driver’s insurance details so that their insurance company can be contacted to make the claim.

What this means is that you were not responsible for causing the accident in any way but the other driver who was involved in the accident was the main cause of it and is referred to as the “at fault party’.
