More details to this question:
I found that my insurance was canceled at the time of the accident. I have since reinstated it. The individual that I rear ended has written me a letter saying that he knows of my canceled insurance at the time of the accident and wants me to discuss damages. I have photo proof that his car was not damaged. Can he still take me to the police for not having insurance at the time of the accident?

He can sue you for the damages, and he could tell the police that you had no insurance at the time. If he threatens to tell the police if you don?t pay him, that would be extortion and you could sue him. Your best bet is probably to offer a small settlement, depending on the amount of damages and on your personal finances. You may want to contact a lawyer to help you, again depending on the amount of damages and your personal financial situation. If you have little in assets and income, he can?t get much from you.
