Legal Question in Personal Injury in Louisiana

I was involved in an automobile accident in the state of Lousiana (Lafayette Parish) and no parties were found to be at fault. At the time of the accident I did not have proper proof of insurance and my car was towed. I was able to provide proof of insurance the next morning and my car was released to me. The problem now is that I received a letter from an Attorney inquiring about my insurance company and who handles my liability. Can I actually be sued if no one was at fault for the accident? There were no injuries at the time of the accident and both vehicles were mobile and were able to be driven away.

They can sue, yes. It is unlikely that the police officer found that nobody was at fault. It is just about impossible for an accident to happen if nobody is at fault. Just because nobody was ticketed, doesn't mean nobody is at fault. The fault may also be shared, 50-50, which essentially means neither party can win a judgment. You need to report the claim to your insurance company and give them this attorney's information.
