I was injured after an accident. How can I get compensation for this?
Compensation is normally paid by the insurance company of the at-fault driver if you have to go to the doctor/hospital or if you have to miss work. You'll need to contact their insurer to begin the process unless you don't plan on getting medical attention for your injuries.

Unfortunately, you would be filing a collision claim which would be categorized by your insurer as an at-fault accident. This will likely cause your rate to increase.
If I swerved to avoid an accident and file a claim for the damage, will my insurance go up?
You should be able to request a copy of the report from the highway patrol since they should have a record of it. As for filing a claim, that decision will be completely up to you, but you will likely be charged for an at fault accident since no other vehicle was involved.
If my car was hit by a family member, can I claim the damage with my insurance company to help them avoid a higher rate?
You could claim the damage as a hit-and-run, but that's technically not what happened so I would avoid lying to your insurance company. I would recommend getting a repair estimate first so you can factor that into your decision.
What happens if I'm involved in an accident without insurance?
Unfortunately there really isn't much that you can do. Even if the other driver is found to be at fault, without them having insurance your vehicle is pretty unlikely to get fixed unless you pay for the repairs yourself.
