Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

My question is as follows my wife was in an a car accident a couple months ago the other party was at fault and insisted that they would file it as a hit and run and said since they had full coverage they would be covered. she agreed since our car received little damage.The problem is they called their insuance and said she was at fault. The car is only under my name and I did not have insurance on it since I hardly drive it. Now I received a letter from a collection agency wanting my information. They said they are going to file an sr-1 to have my license suspended. I am a truck driver and this would hurt me greatly. How should I proceed? should I also file and sr-1 or what can I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I hope your wife and you now realize not to trust anyone who suggests cheating or lying to another person or company. You do not say how much the collection agency wants; if it is not too much,the best way might be to pay them and then sue the other driver. You could try to call the other insurance company and see if they will reduce the amount they are claiming, which means the collection agency will also do that.
