ducati was totalled friday

So on friday my brother took his yellow 2000 ducati 900ss out for a ride with a buddy with a R1. A 20 yo girl pulled out infront of them sideways in the road, they didnt have enough time to avoid it ( she was sideways blocking the whole road) so his buddy went right into the fender and over the hood. my brother on the other hand locked up the brakes went endo and both him and the bike went into the side of the car. Luckily they were doing the speedlimit. His buddy got off with some serious road rash and with all of the adrenalin got up and started cursing the girl out. my brother on the other hand couldnt stand as he had fractured both his shoulders and seriously got the wind knocked out of him. both were taken to the er and my brother was admitted to the icu. the guy on the R1 was discharged from the er. So now he's in immense pain and having trouble even getting out of his hospital bed. Insurance said it was 100% the womans fault and they will be going after her for the bike and all of the medical bills but just to be safe we have contacted legal help. first lets hope he heals up nicely and second do any pelicans have any legal advice as a next step
