Re: do i contact other parties lawyer?
I would contact the attorney, but be careful to only tell him that the vehicle was not insured. You may want to retain an attorney to proceed any further than that. If the lawyer knows you have no insurance, and thinks that you are otherwise unrecoverable, there's a good chance he will leave you alone. If you ignore him/her, you'll get sued for certain.
