Insurance claim denied

[deesun]

I had an unusual accident when my scooter and my car met in my driveway. Scooter is comprehensivly insured and is being repaired. When I made claim on bike I asked about the car and they said claim through cars insurance and then insuros fight it out. Then I found out through my own fault the car is uninsured, my mixup. As the scooter is comp insured I went back to them but they say I can't sue myself, apparently against the law, so now I have a 3-4k bill. I know there is some ppl who work in insurance on the forums so if they can send some advice my way that would be great or if there is somewhere else to go that too. Sounds like typical insurance trying to get out of a claim but if they are quoting a law then that could get them into trouble if it's not true. I won't be naming ins co yet because that is irrelevent atm. Thanks all.
