My condolences for your loss. As others have replied so eloquently, to sue is to inflict more grief -- and you will create a new victim who already has a burden to carry for the rest of their life. Your family will also suffer far more by having to reduce every aspect of the accident and your brother's life to finite bits of evidence to be paraded publicly. It becomes so analytical that it is difficult to ever hold the real image of your brother within you thereafter and you will instead remember all the detestable things done and said during the legal proceedings. Don't forget that the other side will also have an attorney who will be just as emphatic about saving their client. They are forced to minimize everything important that your side has to say about your brother or the accident. It is trauma that you can all do without. It truly is not worth whatever the money will buy.
