Can’t believe he had a car insurance policy but couldn’t lodge a claim

This man shared his story on a Facebook page about a car accident he had last year.
The person that caused the accident refused to lodge a claim despite the fact that he had a car insurance policy.

Read his story below:

I was involved in a car accident on my way to work on 28th of June last year.

I was not at fault, the at fault driver pulled out without giving way.

I was taken to hospital via ambulance for observations/ chest x-rays.

I was so shaken and didn’t get any information of the driver that caused the accident.

The tow company (a family friend) got very limited details and I have tried to go through the police to get assistance and the at fault drivers insurance but they have not submitted a claim.

I was without a vehicle for over 6 months. I was only relying on ubers.

I’m still paying this car off via Nissan finance. I had only recently had my car (ford) back on the road with a new turbo I hadn’t renewed my insurance (stupidly).

At this point I’m over it and can’t believe that this person had insurance but didn’t lodge a claim.

Obviously couldn’t care about their car either as it was still in a holding yard.

I am just seeking public assistance if anyone has gone through something like this before and any help would be very much appreciated.

I’ve consulted multiple solicitors and no one will take a motor accident case.

I have also considered going to the news or this person’s address but I would prefer not to confront them personally.

Why is it that many car owners despite having car insurance policy don’t always lodge a claim, most especially in Africa?
