Get the video if you can. Contact his insurance company not your own if you can help it. They will send you the paperwork for a third party claim - basically a claim directly on his policy.
Don't involve your own insurance if you can help it, you're not legally required to and this may save your no claims.

the insurance company will find that out for you, but you should have asked who he was insured with
