They dont have to settle for the insurance figure that is presented to them, they have a choice to accept or sue if they feel that they are entitled more.

No. You never said it was a 2004 in the OP. And I don't understand how your brother hasn't told 'you' what kind of car the victim had.
You mention the front of his car being pushed in. Maybe y'all should check to see how much it's worth and compare it with how much it would cost to get it fixed.
What your brother should be doing in the meantime is getting a job and/or a second job.
Umm, I5 goes all the way down into socal, so it could be near you or it could be 400 miles from you.
How does it work with him hitting a canadian driver without insurance? I thought if he hit another californian without insurance, he wouldn't be liable or at fault because the other driver was on the road illegaly.

Well I already figured that we would do that. He just isn't in the position to go look for quotes since it just happened yesterday and he doesn't really have a means to drive around himself. Plus the car is up here and he's in Irvine now. Well, either way our insurance will pay for the other car so it doens't matter to an extent. I'm more scared about what they can do and how to prepare for it.

He was no where near Los Angeles then.
EDIT: Or he was coming back and took the scenic route.
EDIT #2: It's no doubt at the location in Los Banos. Salinas is on near the coast outside of Monterey, Oakhurst is about an hour north of Fresno on your way to Yosemite National Park.

Well, it's in your insurance company's lap now. Unless they reach the max that you're insured for (doubtful, with what you described), you should be OK. But your rates will almost certainly skyrocket after this.
So I take it the police report says that he's 100% at fault?
Focus on your midterms and forget about this situation.
Worry about it after your tests are complete.
Poor grades this semester can have worse consequences for you than your brother's accident.

You're going to get chewed out?
Anyhow, the RSX has notoriously bad handling (I have one), best investment is a new set of springs to drop it another inch or two in the front and if you have a premium a new set of brakes.

Well, since he hit them because he lost control, I'm assuming he isn't 100%. I tend to over worry and assume he is 100% at fault just so that I'm not suprised by anything. It's one of my flaws. yeah, I looked up what my insurance will cover and it seems like they will cover anything up until a $30,000 law suit. Anything more than that we have to pay for. That is assuming we have the cheapest liability plan (I'm pretty sure my mom got the cheapest =/). So I'm less concerned about that for now. I just called my brother and told his ass to get the hell back to Stockton before my parents get here since they were supposed to visit. It's going to be o so much worse if he isn't here and he calls them about the accident. I can't believe he didn't call me and ran off to LA after getting into the accident, it only happened 1.5 hours away from where I was.....

Meaning I'm going to get chewed out by my parents when they come up to visit us. he didn't call me when it happened and didn't even come back. Instead he kept going to LA. If my parents find out what happened from him and find out he isn't even here, when they come up to get the car back and etc. They going to yell at me for not taking care of my bro and etc because they have no one physically present to punish =(
Well if my little brother crashed his car I'd probably lay into him too, but the real whippin should come from the parents.
I don't know why they would get angry, they should do their job as parents, it's not your job to punish your younger brother, though as an older brother you should lay into him for being a dumbass.
My brother isn't getting a car because we know he'll do something stupid. :laugh:

Yeah, I already know he is going to get a whippin from my parents. haha, it scares me how much he's going to be in trouble (wouldn't have been so bad if he had stayed in stockton). I think they will be angry because they have no one to blame and they kinda gave me an implied responsibility to watch over him since he goes the same university as me. Just human nature you know?
Kind of, I know my parents wouldn't do that though. Different parenting philosophy.
****** that car can be hard to handle though, really.
Anyhow, I also think any parents that buys their kid a car and only gets them liability insurance is an idiot, if you're going to mess up at any point while driving it's most likely gonna be when you're a kid.
Depends probably on a number of factors, if your brother wasn't speeding, wasn't zigging and zagging in traffic and wasn't being an idiot. Probably none.
However cars don't plane for no reason.
