I'm sorry to hear about this.   Since your policy expired months ago, you likely cannot make a claim on your former insurance.   However, since you were not at fault, you should be able to make a claim under the other person's insurance - the person who caused the accident.   Their contact information and insurance information should be listed on the accident report.   Contact them and make a claim for the damage to your car.  If they do not have car insurance, then you are likely out of luck since you didn't have insurance either.   Best of luck.
