If the other driver is at fault, the fact that you did not have insurance should not be a factor. The city is responsible for the repair of the damages to your vehicle. While it is a legal responsibility for you to carry auto insurance, whether or not you have insurance is not a factor when it comes to the repair of your vehicle, as you are not responsible for the accident.
