Tell them don't ever try anything stupid like that again without your permission. What an ultramaroon, to quote Bugs Bunny.

Personal Injury lawyer at Havens Lichtenberg PLLC
Your car insurance is not likely to have anything to do with this incident. You need to file a lawsuit against the driver and the owner of the car that hit you; he/she will bring into the suit the driver/owner of the car that caused the collision; and both defendants will involve their insurance companies. (To cover all bases, you should also file accident report with the police and notify insurance companies of both drivers). The drivers/owners will have to fight out in court the allocation of the fault; but it hardly matters to you who will end up paying for the harm you suffered. The amount of your claim should include the costs of your medical treatment and rehabilitation, the earnings you lost as the result of your injury, and compensation for pain and suffering. Depending on the circumstances of the collision, you might also receive punitive damages (for instance, if the court finds that the driver of the second car caused the collision because he was grossly negligent). Often, people in your situation feel tempted to accept the settlement the faulty driver's insurance will surely offer. It resolves the problem of paying for the treatment, and gives you a nice wad of cash when you need it to pay your bills while you cannot work. Considering the settlement offer, remember that the insurance company does not extend it to you out of goodness of its corporate heart: it wants to limit its losses. If you accept the settlement, you will not be able to go to court later, neither against the insurance company nor against the driver personally, even if it turns out that the money you accepted does not come close to covering all your medical expenses, or if the injury causes a long-term disability.

What can I do if I was hurt at work and my employer has not helped me yet?

Go to them and ask them to submit it to WC as there are time frames for putting this in. If they still won't, get the form and send it in yourself or report your employer to NYS. They cannot retaliate against you if you do. I'd give them a chance to do the right thing first.
