They sound like they want to play hardball - if I were you I'd contact my insurance company and get them involved, because if the other insurance refuses to pay, they are going to have to bear the cost. Insurance companies call this action between them "SUBROGATION" and they should neogtiate the matter without your involvement. If you are un-insured or cannot get assistance from them, bring the other party to court and sue them for the costs. Your police report will eventually help you. I'd say that the weight of evidence is on your side.

Do I have to report to my insurance company that my 16-year-old just received a driver's license?

Yes, if the new driver lives at the insured address or will operate one of their insured vehicles. Failure to report your child's license may result in the insurance company denying coverage and/or canceling your insurance in the event your child causes an accident, or is involved in an accident with an uninsured driver, even if your child is not at fault. Depending on the laws of your state and your individual policy restrictions, your child may also be liable for any accident caused while driving another person's vehicle (sometimes the insurance follows the driver; sometimes it follows the insurance). The best course of action is report your new driver and pay the increased premiums to avoid the possibility of paying costly damages out of pocket.

You both are in trouble. You mentioned that you were rear ended. The other person should have been ticketed for being at fault in the accident . You should have been ticketed for failure to have insurance. The DANCE has just begun. Hopefully no one was hurt. This may lighten your load.

What happens if you cause a car accident and you have no car insurance?

You could be liable for all damages to the vehicles. You can be responsible for any medical bills incurred. You will most probably receive a traffic citation for the accident and failure to maintain insurance coverage. You can be sued by the person you hit for any number of things from medical bills to loss of work due to injuries or loss of a vehicle or mental stress. You will learn that insurance is not something that you can let lapse.
