Am I held responsible for a bill that an insurance company paid a 3rd party in an accident that I was at fault if I didn’t have BI?

I was involved in an accident where I crossed a red light and hit a car which in turn hit a second car. At the time I had basic Insurance ( PIP, property damage). Now my insurance company went insolvent. His insurance company paid him $10,000 for BI. And now they are calling me to pay it. Are what they are doing legal?

Yes. By paying him, they are subrogated to what ever rights he had against you.
