What to do if I was in an auto accident driving a company vehicle on company business during company time?

I was not at fault and didn’t receive a ticket. The other party retained a lawyer and is filing suit against the company I work for and their liability insurance. I no longer work for the company and I just received a letter from a different lawyer representing the injured party. The letter is requesting my liability coverage at the time of the accident. Should I forward this letter to my previous employer or directly to the insurance company representing my employer and myself? I don’t know what to do.
