in my eyes the car that pulled out is to blame but really i'd have hit him rather than go into on-coming traffic so it could get fairly difficult as the person you hit will prob claim off you and your insurance will have to try and claim it off the drivers insurance who pulled out on you. could be a tricky 1. Hope you got witnesses or the other driver saw it.
i agree with the others - it will be best to have witnesses etc. and you may end up paying out the car you hit.
but it was defo the cars who pulled out fault, as you was already moving, they were cutting into your lane and right of way , e.g. when a car wants to turn into a side road on their oppisite side, they must wait until the oncoming lane is clear/safe to go - as they are cutting into that lanes flow of traffic.

That should be a nice simple one in light of the witnesses and police report will also confirm.
In my experience, you should be fine - the person who pulled out caused you to collide with the other person.
The insurer of the person you hit head on should claim directly from the insurer of the person who pulled out. There may be an initial period where they attempt to claim off your insurer (as usually happens), but your insurer will just re-direct the claim.
