You don't, however your insurance company will. As you were parked the fault issue is a no brainer, especially as he admitted liability, couldn't really not do so could he. Should your Insurance people try to opt for a tit for tat approach, dig your heels in. Complain, and in the last resort go to the Insurance Ombudsman who will take the case up for you. As a final resort you could take out a personal prosecution/claim for damages in the Small Claims Court. This costs very little and you can do the prosecution yourself. Cases are presided over by a judge, who will decide the case on the balance of probability of who was at fault. The burden of proof required is a lot less than in a Criminal Court and relies far more on common sense.

No doubt he will try to retract his admission - insurers advise policy holders to NOT admit liability, and let them assess it instead.

If he is insured it should be simple. Go via your own insurance and they will contact his insurers. If he was not insured, then you are buggered.

I assume you exchanged details, names and addresses name of insurance company, time of accident and details of how it happened. Not your best bet is to contact your own insurance company as soon as possible with details of the incident and then leave it all to them. You pay insurance so that they can sort out any problems for you so now is the time to make use of them.

If you have both exchanged insurance details you need to pass on his details to your insurance company. They will send you some forms to fill in regarding the accident and they will then deal with it from there. As long as he has admitted liability to his insurers there will be no problem.
Your insurance company will deal with it and will just contact you for information if and when they need it to complete your claim.

You get his insurance details from him and write to them - ONE WORD of warning - make sure he informs them - if he doesn't you will have afight on your hands because they won't take your word for it and if he doesn't inform them - then there is no accident to report -

you pay insurance premiums your insurance co. is supposed to do the work not you

I work in insurance and you need to contact his insurance company immediately. Make sure you also have his phone number and I would keep in mind to see someone license to write down that info down in the event things don't go well. These days you have to act like the police officer when someone hits you.

you can get his insurance details and ring them directly , which is what i did last year or ring your own insurance company and given them his details .

either way you can just sit back and let them deal with repairs etc

Ps glad your wernt in car at time

Take it to be fixed and have the body shop call his insurance company. You call his insurance company and have them send an adjuster out to look at your car where you want it to be fixed not where they want it fixed. Make sure his insurance company provides you a rent car.
