Most times no since you did not actualy hit him. If he caused the accident and you hit him then you would have a chance at a claim against him but right now all they have is his word that the jetta caused the accident and who is to say that the accident would have happened at all if he had not tried to avoid the jetta ?
Also unless the guy in the jetta stopped or he got the guys licence place number he had no way to get ahold of the driver to even file a claim against him.
Screwed up ? Yes but that is the way the legal/insurance system works arond here.
It is just like with hitting an deer/dog/cat/whatever else. If you swerve to avoid them and completely miss them and run off the road and hit something else then it is an at fault accident on your part but if you hit the deer it is an "Act of God" and falls under your comprehensive insurance.
