<prompt> Human: So Im a wildland firefighter who just got a new car at the beginning of the season and didnt have time to get it registered or insured because I was on a fire then a family member die and had to take care of that. So on my off day I went to figure how to get insurance and register it in the state Im from on the way I got into a crash and because I dont have insurance its my fault. So I told the person I got into the crash with that I can pay out of pocket and they where fine with it. A week gose by and I finally was able to get in contact with her and somehow she got the insurance number of the previous owner and used that to file a report but with my name on it Im assuming. I have no clue how to handle this situation or what to do. I will be going back to my state next week to get insurance and register the car. Sorry for the errors and lack of info Im a little stretched then at the moment any and all advice will be greatly helpful thank you guys and gals very much.  <response>: You werent covered at the time of the accident and you will be personally responsible for the damages. You need to pay the person whose car you damaged and treat this as an expensive lesson. You are lucky no one got seriously injured or you could be in a deeper whole.
