You need a lawyer, because you are in financial trouble.

Not much you can do. The law requires you to be insured.

Get an attorney, if you struck another automobile from the rear generally you are going to be liable for the damages and depending upon what state you are in you could be and very significant trouble. Laws in Michigan are particularly draconian in dealing with uninsured drivers.

You will personally be responsible for the damages to the car and any medical expenses. You could lose your license until you payoff the costs for both.

In Alabama, you are presumed at fault for not keeping enough space between you and the car in front to enable you to stop. While that presumption can be overcome, it is difficult. If you don't have insurance, you will have to come out of pocket. If you don't have the money, consider bankruptcy. If such is the case, consult a bankruptcy lawyer.
