My response:

The other person's lack of insurance has nothing to do with you, or whether or not you're negligent. Lack of insurance is a problem between the driver and the State. So, on top of the damages you'll be paying due to your negligence, you'll also be fined by State, and have your license suspended, for your failure to be insured. This will also happen to the other driver.

IAAL

In other words.....was there a police report?

If not, the best thing to do is tell the other driver when the Motor vehicle department gets our information, Both our licenses will be suspended. so you pay for your damage and i will pay for mine , and you keep your mouth shut.. OK?
