The facts you didn't have insurance on the car and that your friend had a suspended license are irrelevant to whether the other driver was negligent. Yes, you (and your friend if he was injured) should contact the other driver's insurance company and make a claim. However, I would strongly suggest contacting a local personal injury car-accident lawyer through to help you with your claims.
Yes you can file a claim against the at fault carrier's coverage. Only fault determines who is on the hook to pay for the value of your claim. Best wishes
