Car Insurance Question  When an accident happens and you don't receive proof of insurance, name, or address from the driver who hit you and they file a claim against you, can you turn them in for failing to provide you with proof of their insurance?

If a law enforcement agency was not contacted or did not respond then there is really no recourse you have to get this information.

All incidents should be reported to your insurance company even if the police are not called. This way, they have a record of your side of the incident. This also protects you from incidents such as the one you mention wherein the information later changes. You should contact your insurance company, if you haven't already, and explain to them what happened. At this point, it will be up to a claims adjuster to determine whether or not a claim can be made against your policy. The same would also apply to the other party.
