<prompt> Human: Hey guys not sure if this is the right place. But I always check here because you guys helped me out financially getting my life together. So my brother just got rear ended with my car. He borrowed it because it saves on gas compared to the normal 4 runner he drives. Hes under my policy but he also has his own. We both have triple a. When he filed the police report he gave them my policy because thats whats in the car.Now what confuses me is we have a family friend who is a lawyer saying he will try to take care of all the injuries and get compensated for my brother because immediately after he got hit my brother said his lower back really hurts. He wants my brother info the car info accident and policy number. He said to my brother example if you get 10,000 you get back 45 the other half takes care of the lawyer fees and medical fees. Im kinda unsure about this. And I heard him say theyre going to take my car into the shop to see if theres any internal damage. Does this not mean theyll fix my car. Should I just go straight to triple a?  <response>: You apparently have a family friend who is an ambulance chaser and files trumped up lawsuits against insurance companies for vague or inconclusive injury compensation. Hes sees this accident as a meal ticket to take 55 of whatever settlement he can wrangle out of insurance.If your brother is really hurt, go to a doctor and file with your and the other drivers insurance. You always take your car to a shop to check for other damage, but do not let the shyster lawyer do it. Once you have the estimates, the insurance will pay according to your policy, and they will even cover you for additional hidden damage if any is discovered while working on the car.Your family friend is no friend. He is a shark looking for his next meal ticket and not above involving you and your brother in deceit maybe fraud, depending on how far he goes to get it. Kick him to the curb immediately.
