Your relatives can't file a suit for YOUR injury. They can file it on your behalf but it's still YOUR injury claim and would be prevented from doing so by the release form you've signed. They don't have to sign the release form to prevent them from filing a suit.
And again, burden of proof. Ask an attorney.

It is to be part of the sentence that the other gentleman is to sign. Read the post.

Don't be so literal. He was using "your relatives" in the general sense of "one's relatives". He was referring to the elderly gentleman in the other car, not to the OP.
::A circle forms and "fight" begins to be chanted in the background::
This is going to be good!!

Good thing this isn't hockey... we'd get Five For Fighting and you'd get a Game Misconduct.
Really... thanks for the refereeing but it's not necessary.

This needs a fourth party....so I might as well be it.
Forums are great places to share experiences, background and opinions on a particular subject. If someone offers their opinion as fact, others should be allowed to ask for the background, even credentials, to back up their statements. This doesn't have to be contentious, but sometimes is as people like to shoot their mouths off, only to have to own up when called out. This is necessary, even when it gets a little heated.
Not that this is one of those cases, this is luke warm at best.
This is the blurb maltese racer wrote (underline) for the other driver to sign:
"I, _________________________________ am fully satisfied with the repairs to my vehicle following the incident that occurred on Thursday, July 2nd, 2009. I sustained no injuries and will not seek any further damages from Bryan Busuttil, Thomas Busuttil, and/or Allstate Insurance."
This was my response:
"I would change the last sentence to read: "I sustained no injuries and I nor any relations of mine".....
This was CR& wrote:
"Your relatives can't file a suit for YOUR injury. They can file it on your behalf but it's still YOUR injury claim and would be prevented from doing so by the release form you've signed. They don't have to sign the release form to prevent them from filing a suit.
And again, burden of proof. Ask an attorney.
BTW, I do this for a living. I'm a bodily injury claims adjuster for State Farm.
My point of that whole shebang was for maltese racer to avoid any future filing (by even the guys relatives) by having the driver of the other car sign that change in statement.
Which for what I gather from CR&'s response, I am correct about. Because relatives CAN FILE as stated above by CR& and underlined in that paragraph.
Can we PLEASE give this a rest. I have other people to torture!

If you really wanted to let this thread rest, you would have never continued it.
Chris (CR&PW&JB) is right, legally. You are right, to potentially save time. If the release states that the gentleman has no injuries, then it doesn't matter who, if anyone takes legal action against the OP, because they will lose the case. As soon as the OP presents the release that states the driver of the other car had no injuries due to the accident, the case would be dismissed.
If the OP adds the extra SEVEN words you suggest, all it will do is lower the chances of having to goto court to win a lawsuit started by the other drivers family. But you know what, a piece of paper won't stop people from trying to sue. End of the day, anyone can sue anyone for anything, no matter what. Just a matter of how bad they will lose.
Let this thread die, the OP abandoned this topic pages it ago, it is time to let it fall to the bottom of the forum list.
