Both the parties are covered by the same company and both parties are being questioned about the accident. Your claims handler is looking into the at-fault party’s case while his handler is looking into you and therefore all the questions about the stuff they apparently already know. They are not trying to get out of paying the bills, probably just trying to verify all the information they have on each of you.

This is probably correct. But in some cases, the insurance company is unfairly delaying the determination of liability, since it owns that either way. If it has been more than 40 days since the accident, you should file a complaint with your state's dept of insurance -- most state laws impose that as the time limit for determining liability. If they cannot do so, they must inform you in writing concerning the delay and tell you how much more time they need.
