HELPPPP! NON FAULT - Hit by driver whilst I was uninsured

So last year February, I was approaching a round about when I was hit by a INSURED driver, however I know it was careless and dumb of me but I was In a verbal agreement with a car showroom for them to cover me in return I would collect cars from them, they obviously didn’t hold their end of the deal up hence why I am in this situation.
Long story short, 3rd party has accepted liability last year, and send me a cheque which was then cancelled after some issues With their policy holder, so couple months down the line in November they proceeded to tel me everything has been sorted and they will be paying me out, now all of a sudden they are again delaying everything by saying we are waiting for a police report , however this is a criminal issue which I have been dealt with by the police, I need some advise whether it is best for me to now either get a lawyer or wait for them , they proceed to keep brushing me off every time I phone saying we are still waiting for a police report , it takes 6-8 months , what would be the best advice in the situation,
Thanks.

You not being insured doesn't have any bearing on the issue of liability.
If the third party is liable as you say, then consider getting your solicitor or a claim handler to pursue your claim for you0
