My brother was rear ended on Christmas eve after the person in front of him slammed on their brakes, so he slammed on his and then the person behind him ran up into him.
Being his first accident he wasn't sure what info to get, he got the person who hit him's mobile number, his license number and took pictures of the crash. He also got the phone number of a witness (the person who broke in front of him)
My brothers insurance is telling us we need to claim through the other motorists insurance, the other motorists car was his girlfriends and no matter how much we've asked him for the company name he's not telling us, we've gone to the police and filed a report but we were just wondering what we can do in this situation?
Would we be able to go get quotes to get the car fixed and then action them then sue the guy for the costs or something if he doesn't give up the insurance company name? It's getting frustrating and we just want to get his car fixed. Luckily it's still drivable, it just looks bad.
Brother is with budget direct

I work as a freelance graphic designer and in the beginning like every freelancer I was happy to design for friends and family for free to build my portfolio.
My SIL is a pรขtissier (pastry chef) and decided to start her own bakery business. I am supportive of friends or anyone, who wants to start their own business and passion. This was back in 2018 actually. She gave me some ideas for the logo she wanted, colors and some images. Usually this is called a brief, something you get from clients to have a sense of direction. She didnโt like my designs or didnโt respond at all. I thought ok maybe she is busy, she does have two toddlers at home, so I left it at that. And I am ok when clients give me their honest feedback.
Unfortunately their youngest suffered an illness and needed to be hospitalized and it was quiet serious, so we had to postpone it.
Fast forward to 2021 my niece is healthy (and for that I am forever grateful!), my SIL asked me if I was interested in continuing where we left off with designing her logo and some graphic work (business cards, shop cards and discussing color combinations for her website).
I was really busy with other projects, but also felt bad because I did start before my niece became sick, so I agreed. I initiated meetings every week and with the experience I gained with other clients, I learned how to communicate better. So every week I have a meeting with my SIL until she was happy with her logo and according to her she really liked it. I also designed her business card, shop card and gave her advice for colors for her website.
She told me from the beginning she just started out and canโt afford to pay. That is fine, I was in that position before and I figured once they are doing successful theyโll give something to someone or whatever. She did send me some cakes and cookies lol
My SIL opened a pop up and is doing well and now she has her own little bakery. I am genuinely happy for her. But as a freelancer I also rely on word of mouth and social media is a big way to promote my work.
My brother works in finance I should add and is the accountant behind her bakery. He manages her money, taxes and calculates how much everything costs, because he is a number guy.
So my SIL has never mentioned me designing her logo or when I send her a finished design actually never re
