Insurance adjuster here. 5+ years handling auto and home owners claims.
At this point there's really not much to do. Yes your insurance company will investigate, collect the police report and handle the claim accordingly. Unfortunately we can't do much when we don't have evidence on the contrary - but the info doesn't hurt (I.E. you eyewitnessing the guy walking into the ambulance).
Anything said at the scene is here-say - even if you were to appoligise for the situation the insurance company isn't going to take it to heart.
Lets talk worst case scenario here:
You have liability only on your car
this guy really is (or isnt, doesn't matter unless you have evidence of contrary) hurt
he sues you (technically your insurance company) - they pay limits, get them to sign a hold harmless for you and you're set.
What happens then?
Your rates increase or you're dropped and you find another insurance company for better rates / insurance.
So if it were just scratches on your bumper you'll be fine. This fender bender is nothing to worry about. At this point its out of your hands. Have a coke and a smile and wait for this whole thing to blow over.
if you need some more pointed advice PM me.
As for the dashcam remark - yes this is awesome, but Hindsight is 20/20.
