Last month my wife and I got into an accident. We were in the highway and a trailer truck entered from the right and proceeded to turn all the the way to the left; cutting off the 2 cars in front of me we almost died but my wife steered to the left and tried to break but then the car in front of us who also was cut off by the truck made a steep left since he was in more danger. We rear ended him. Police came, the guy in front of me and a witness who was also cut off by the truck but didn't take any damage stated that it was the trucks fault.

However the guy we rear ended is now claiming personal injury. I feel really angry since he said he was fine and didn't wanna call an ambulance or nothing. He insisted on just going home and even asked us if we had weed in the car cause the cops were looking inside. I don't have his number or any info to contact him. All I know is that he hired a lawyer and is making a personal injury claim.

Should I try and contact him personally and try to solve things with him without getting insurance involved? I feel like he is being an opportunist.
