If you were rear ended in a car accident, under Wisconsin law, the other driver was primarily responsible for the accident, and I don't see how you would be responsible for the other driver's injuries or medical bills. The fact that you did not maintain auto insurance is a different issue but has nothing to do with who caused the accident.
