Your brother should do as E38 did and retain a lawyer who does motorcycle accident work, for the motorcyclist. The insurance company will protect its own interests, which are whatever it has to pay for bike and medical. It has no interest in your brother's loss of wages, pain and suffering, deductibles and co-pays, long-term injury or disability, rehab, etc. The fact that the policeman wrote that ticket suggests to me that the girl, or her parents, are "on the ball" here, have a lawyer, and are going to fight.
