Being blamed for a car accident. Never made contact with car! Need advice state of illinois? - Find All About Auto Insurance Information

Question by latina: Being blamed for a car accident. Never made contact with car! Need advice state of illinois?
I need advice. Was driving south bound out of my neighborhood 1 lane, I had a stop sign. Other car was west of me driving east bound no stop sign, a 2 way street. Upon coming to the stop sign I made a complete stop with the intentions of crossing over and continue heading straight south bound. After making the stop I looked left no car coming and proceeded to move with caution knowing there was no stop sign on eight side of this intersection heading east bound or west bound. I stuck ed my car out as I was over the stop sign as I was going to proceed to cross over, but stopped upon seeing the vehicle heading eastbound, (as he could of slammed into my passenger side if I had not stopped). The vehicle heading east bound slammed his breaks, swerving into a post. Now the car is blaming me for causing the accident (his damages), I never made it to his side of the intersection ( middle of the road) because I stopped my car upon seeing him, never making it to his lane, so he had enough room to keep on going Straight eastbound. When he hit the post, I stopped to see if he was okay, but then he started blaming me, accusing me of causing the accident. (I wished I had kept on going) Anyways we ended up at the police station and the police told me to leave after obtaining my information ( license and insurance) not giving me any tickets nor a police report. Prior to leaving the station he told the police that I blew the stop sign when in fact I never did. A few days later I received a claim letter against me. Now I have no clue what is going to happen. If I didn’t get tickets nor a police report, then why would he have my insurance information. Will I be blamed? Help any advice, I already gave my statement to my insurance and now I have to wait.

Further information if needed: We both have insurance, I have state farm and I found out through my insurance, he has united auto insurance. His damage was minimal and he admitted no injuries at the police station. The post was scratched but nothing major. I need advice as I don’t feel it was my fault!
Just trying to state all the facts here for advice.

Knowing State Farm they’re most likely going to deny his claim since you didn’t hit him. I’d just let my insurance company handle it.
