My son borrowed a car from his friend with permission. He told my son to be careful because the car had some brake trouble. My son drove on some gravel and the brakes locked up and the car was totaled. My son was not seriously injured. The friend only had liability .insurance on the vehicle. Is my son legally bound to buy him another vehicle or what? Is there anything they can do to us legally?

If there was no coverage for comprehensive/collision on the car then the insurance company will not cover the repairs. Since insurance would not cover this, this is a legal question not an insurance question. Your son may be responsible for damages to his friends car, you may wantto contact a lawyer for legal questions.
