You sue the at-fault driver: that is only way to get money if they refuse to pay or just drag their heels. The other driver and/or his insurer do not have to pay unless and only if you the driver and win; otherwise, paying anything without a court judgment in your favor is voluntary on their part, so they can delay paying or refuse to pay entirely.
