Legal Question in Personal Injury in Louisiana

my ex got in an accident in a car in my name. i didnt have insurance on that vehicle. the insurance of the hit party is claiming i owe them 10,000 dollars but said that the cost in injurues is confidential. but at time of wreak there were no injuries or an ambulance. so i am expected to trust that this woman had 10,000 in damage and injuries and just pay all that? also can my ex be held responsible at all? since he was the one in the wreak? or is it all on me.

The driver of the vehicle and the owner of the vehicle, if permission was given to use the vehicle, are responsible for any damages. If you are not in agreement, the injured party will have to file suit. You will have to answer the suit within the time limitations and there will be a trial where damages will be decided by the court. There are state penalties for allowing your vehicle to be driven without insurance.
