Legal Question in Personal Injury in California
Personal lawsuit over car accident
My brother, while visiting the US, hit a car in the rear.
He was driving a car he bought for the trip, and he had Insurance, The hit was light to moderate, he was probably doing 30 mile/hr but the other driver is suing my brother for a legendary sum on 6 figures.
1. My brother has very little money, and no assets
2. As I mentioned he has insurance with up to 300k coverage
3. The policeman writing the report mentioned that accidents in that specific place are very common, as 2 lanes merging into one and drivers stop abruptly.
4. It's a cler case of the plaintiff trying to suck money with no real ''hard'' damage done
What should we do ?

Your brother's insurance company will defend the suit. Notify them at once, if you have not done so already.

Turn it over to the insurance, that is what it is for.
