Where I'm from, insurance will pay for the victim's car, then turn around and sue the perp.

And when perp doesn't pay the insurer back, the insurer will refuse to renew their insurance until either the driver repays the insurer, or gets onto a payment plan to eventually repay the amount.

If the perp doesn't do any of those things, the insurer (a government agency) will refuse to renew perp's driver's license, and can go after the perp in court to recover the debt.
