It sounds as if it is time to file suit. The other party will have to provide accurate information in response to discovery requests and or at a deposition. If the party fails to report the accident to his or her insurance company in a timely fashion, they may be denied coverage for the accident.

Providing false information at the scene of the accident may be a criminal violation. As to the claim of death, an attorney can easily verify if the person has passed away.
