What everyone is missing: you file a claim with your insurance company, and then they chase down the other party.
If rando-joe you go to the other insurance company...yeah, of course they'll tell you "we investigated our client and found we don't have to pay you" because they're very much hoping you'll say "well shoot then" and go away.
The other option is to have an attorney do it. With multiple witnesses and video footage, it's a slam-dunk case unless the driver's identity can't be established. That means a)an attorney is happy to take it on and b)the other insurance company will likely cave well before anyone even starts talking about court cases.
