They can bill you, but if you refuse to pay them, then they would have to sue you. If you had insurance, then you need to turn the claim over to your own insurance company to have them protect you.

Insurance companies will do what they can to make money; that doesn't mean that they are always right. If you have your own policy, turn it over to them.

Of course! You must get reimbursement from the other driver or the driver's insurance company.

Insurance company has paid out some money it believes is your debt or has obtained a judgment against you, why don't you have a lawyer look into the entire matter.

Typically, an insurance company would not bill you. Although you don't identify whose insurance company it is, I'm guessing it's your medical insurance company and they are wanting to get their money back from any settlement or judgment you may get from the at fault driver. Experienced injury lawyers are familiar with these claims. Consider consulting one.

Turn the matter over to your insurance company. If no insurance, retain an attorney.

They can only collect from you if you were at fault to some degree for the accident. Their insured is probably telling them that. Contact the insurance company and find out what their position is. You may need to see if your insurance company will intervene on your behave.
