What do I do if I get into an at-fault accident in New Hampshire?

I don't have bodily injury liability and was in an at-fault accident. The other driver's insurance let me know that they are injured and seeking reimbursement for medical bills. Their vehicle wasn't damaged, but mine is totaled. Am I going to be sued? Will I lose my license?

“Since New Hampshire is a state that does not require drivers to carry a
minimum amount of insurance
, you have not done anything illegal.
As long as you weren’t driving under the influence or acting with gross negligence, you should not lose your license, even though the accident was your fault.
Without any type of
bodily injury liability
coverage, you are required to pay for any injuries from the accident out of pocket. If you refuse to pay or can’t come to an agreement with the other driver’s insurance, they can sue you to recover the loss.
The only thing you can do is work with the other driver’s insurance and ensure you have better coverage in the future. If paying for any type of damage or injury out of pocket could create financial hardship, you should have car insurance coverage, regardless of whether it is required or not.
