Retain an attorney, and maybe have the attorney send a letter to the police department informing them that your brother is represented by counsel. Please let me know if I may help.

I hope your brother recovers quickly and my condolences to his friend's family. I would suggest that an attorney be retained by your borhter and the family for the deceased friend/driver sa that the attorney can assist with the police. Additionally, there are options under the policy covering the car your brother was in (assuming that it was insured) regarding a hit and run if that is what your brother was involved in. If your family or the other family needs a courtesy consultation regarding his/their rights, feel free to contact me. I hope this helps. Bob (818) 222-2433
