Legal Question in Personal Injury in Georgia

If your brother has auto insurance, which I hope he does, he may be able to make a claim to pay for his tooth repairs. Otherwise, you will need to find the other party. This is a good lesson for him.

I doubt your brother has auto insurance that covers him on a bike. However, what legal action would you start if you do not know who was at fault, or if you don't even know who the other party is? Further, even if insurance companies are involved they will want a police report. What if you somehow find the guy and he denies ever being there, or has a completely different story? It might be a lesson in 1) the normal risks of riding a bike with vehicles, and 2) getting a police report.

Uninsured motorist coverage, a part of your brother's auto insurance (if he elected that type of coverage), could cover this situation if you cannot find the other party. The wreck sounds like the fault of the other party which would be a necessary prerequisite to a recovery. Try your best to find the truck and driver. Call your brother's auto insurer immediately and report this incident. I am assuming your brother is an adult. If he is a minor living with parent(s) all this also applies to the family auto policy as he would be a "resident relative" of the parent who has the policy.
