if you get into an auto accident and you do not have insurance of any kind but the other person does and it was the other persons fault.

If you were not at fault for the collision, and the other driver was at fault, then the other driver's automobile insurer should be responsible for the damage to your vehicle or paying you the fair market value of your vehicle as of the date of the collision, whichever amount is less.  The fact that you did not have insurance should not be relevant, unless it is determined that you were partially at fault for the collision.  If you have not contacted the other driver's insurance company or they have not contacted you about your property damage claim, you should consult with an attorney.
