I was involved in a minor car accident - I scraped a parked car as I was pulling out. I called the cops, and provided my insurance information, and reported it to my carrier the day of the accident. I have gotten letters from an attorney representing the guy whose car I damaged, and I think this is illegal. Why would he contact me directly when he has my insurance information?
I want to know if this is legal, and if it's not, how can I complain to the state bar association?

Thank you for the responses.
As to oklatom's rather snarky response, in what scenario is an individual meant to be contacted for damages when all insurance information was provided at the time of the incident and duly noted on the "property damange" report filled out by a police officer? It's my understanding that this is the point of having insurance, and providing proof of it at the scene, and attempts to contact an individual directly smell strongly of intimidation tactics to me.

It is legal, a bit obnoxious, but legal.

Who was driving at the time of the accident, you, or your insurance company? Who knows, first hand, what happened that day, you, or your insurance company?
The attorney should contact whoever it is that was there and knows what happened, who would that be? And WHY would you think it not legal?

It's legal, but you don't have to talk to him..tell him to talk to your insurance co.
