If you have collision insurance, the best and simplest thing is to put in a claim. Otherwise, to get reimbursement, you would have sue your friend for the money (you have to sue *him*, not his insurer; his insurer will, subject to his policy's terms and limits, pay some or all if you win); to win against him, you'd have to prove that he was at fault (as it seems he was) in losing control of his vehicle while towing yours.
