TITLE: I just got rear ended by someone who has no insurance?
POST: This happened about an hour ago and I took pictures of my rear bumper, and of his drivers license and license plate. I have his phone number as well. 

Thankfully, there is only a small chip in the paint on the center of my bumper. I know it's not that bad, but this is just a really bad time to have to pay for it myself with schooling and everything. I think I should definitely be reimbursed or covered no matter how small the cost turns out to be. 

He said he didn't have any insurance. I asked if he had cash and he says nothing on him but he gets paid tomorrow and could pay me then. I don't know how true that is, but I haven't been in a situation like this before. 

What's the best way to handle this and repair the damage to my car? Should I get an estimate of the repairs first and meet him somewhere? 
If in not mistaken, the penalty for not having car insurance/liability in Washington state is a lot heftier than some paint and clear coat repairs. 

What are my options if he doesn't return my calls and goes rogue on me?
TL;DR: 
guy hits me, leaves miniscule damage, has no insurance, how do I get money from him to cover the cost of repairs?***
