• Do I contact him directly and ask for his insurers' details.

    If the claim is amicable, i.e the driver isn't contesting then yes. You will then ask the insurer for a claim form, fill them in and take it from there.

    You should check if you have insurance through anyone else though (LCC, CTC, BC etc) as they will be able to argue on his behalf. If not then get some assistance filling in the claim form. A nice objective view of the claim that can consider the ramifications will be very useful. If not a legal professional, then a friend with some legal savvy.
