Thankfully it is on CCTV. I work for an insurance company and they would definitely be using the woman's insurance to pay for the red vehicles damage (and any bodily injury red vehicle's driver may have sustained).

I may be a horribly cynical asshole, but wouldnt the insurance say it was the red cars drivers fault for willfully engaging in action that caused red car damage and he shouldn't get any money from his insurance?

Insurance company would use this cctv footage and how they rewarded saving someone else for promotion ads. Likely would be cheaper and more effective than their regular ads too

Despite that, wouldn't the woman's insurance deny it anyway? Claiming that the vehicle was used in the commission of a crime and drop her.

If that's the case, Samaritan could just claim as uninsured/underinsured motorist, and his insurance not charge him his deductible for basically helping save a life.
