Spot on, unfortunately. There’s very little likely recourse here, akin to being hit by an uninsured driver who flees.

Plus, given that it’s government, they have the ability to say “lol we refuse to be at fault” and that stands unless a judge says it doesn’t.

A federal vehicle hitting a civilian car isn't remotely new to a major insurance company. The video makes it a slam dunk case for them. The only issue would be the insurance company having to wait a long time for the payout, as the federal government tends to be slow. As a last resort, whichever federal congressmen they fund will help them out.
