If that is the case, although you may have been ticketed for no insurance, you should be paid for the property damage to your vehicle. I am also assuming that the driver of the SUV was at fault.

I would suggest you get a clear answer to your question about who your attorney is from the counsel you originally hired and signed a contract with.
