Under the laws of all states in this country the responsible party for your accident based upon what you have written seemingly would be the driver of the other car that struck you as well as the owner of the vehicle. The insurance carrier for the other side would not be a target party.
I suggest that you consult with your own insurance carrier and make a claim to it about the damages suffered and take things from there first.
