auto accident/liability question

I live in Washington. I was in an auto accident over the weekend. The other driver was at fault and was cited for not yielding the right of way. My insurance was expired at the time of the accident. My car is owned by Ford Motor Credit and I owe more than it is worth. The other guy has liability insurance and the adjustor from his insurance has declared my car a total loss. I have many questions.
Is the other driver still at fault if I am uninsured? I have heard that I am automatically at fault if uninsured.
Am I obligated to pay for the repairs to his vehicle?
Where do I begin with all of this? I'd appreciate any advice.
Thanks.
Heather

I'm not an expert, but it seems that the person at fault is still at fault whether you have insurance or not. Get the police report and file the claim with his insurance company.
