That's always a balance between what happened and how much it will cost you versus how much your rates will increase. If it will be a large claim, then almost always you should file a claim. If it was small, then maybe not... but be sure to consider that even with small car accidents, there could be hidden damage, like the alignment being thrown off, etc. You might want to get your car checked out to be sure.

Brother loans sister car. they do not live in same household. sister has accident should insurance cover other vehicle?

Should who's insurance cover who's car??? The Brother who owns the car will have to file the claim with his insurance policy. Insurance follows the car, not the driver. If you didn't have the Sister listed on the policy as a driver the company can deny the claim for material misrepresentation. Then you will have to pay the claim yourself.
