Rear Ended Without Insurance

I live in California, my car was rear ended on highway 101. i was not the driver ( my brother was). My car had no insurance at the time of accident, and damages exceed $750 CHP was involved and a report was filed. the other party's insurance contacted me saying they will pay for the property damages caused by the other driver, and requested to see my car to evaluate the car damage. *My first priority is to keep my Driver License.*

if i accept any money from the other party's insurance, will they file the SR-1 to DMV???

Am I liable to lose my drivers license? for not insuring my car, even tho i was not the driver?

or should i just pay for repair out of my pocket?? and tell the insurance company i sold the car.

plase help me with any advise, thank u in advance for your help.
