I was on the freeway and a car in front of me had a folding table that flew from the bed of his truck and hit my car pretty bad. I have a dash cam and had it recorded and got him to pull over and get his insurance info. What should I submit the claim as? Do I need to talk to someone and how can I share the footage? I have GEICO.

You file a claim with the insurer of the truck and provide the documentation to their adjuster when requested. Simple enough.
If it turns out they are uninsured you can file under your own insurance if you carry comprehensive (if the table was airborne when it impacted your vehicle) or collision (if it hit the road first and you ran into it).
Assuming you have collision coverage, call Geico and set up a claim. They’ll let you know the next steps. If you don’t have collision, then call the other person’s insurance and set up a claim. Just be prepared for it to take a little bit because they have to talk to their insured and get their statement, confirm coverage, etc.
