When there is an auto accident, both parties should exchange insurance information. If there was a police report, the police report should include both drivers' insurance information. If there was a police report, you could obtain the other driver's insurance information from the police report.
Since you backed into the other vehicle, you would be at fault in the accident and your insurance company would pay for the repairs to the other car. The other driver would file a property damage claim with your insurance company.
