You may claim against the other party, but bear in mind that they and/or their insurer may decide to deny your claim. If they do--that is, they do not voluntarily pay you compensation--your recourse would be to sue the other driver (you sue the driver, not the insurer; the insurer will then typically step in to defend and, as needed, indemnify, its insurered, assuming the insured has applicable insurance). To recover money, you'd then have to prove in court by a preponderance of the evidence (that it is "more likely than not") that the other driver was at fault in causing the accident, such as by going through a stop sign or traffic light, speeding, driving carelessly, texting while driving, etc.
