    He should get his medical bills paid for. and his property restored, I am sure they have property damage liability.

    A Payday? Sounds to me like YOU are the one who wants that! you are the reason car insurance is so expensive. Everybody has dreams about what they have been through. Some day, he will have a good experience to dream about. A little bit of money is not going to make that happen.

    You only get paid once. If you have additional expenses later, you can't go back for more money. That's why people often wait to sue or settle until they have a better idea of what future medical bills will be. At the time you sue or settle, you estimate what future bills will be.

    The uninsured motorist coverage, which is surely part of the coverage, will kick in when the PIP runs out.

    Your son doesn't get paid for dreams, but if he sees or will need to see a therapist about them, then that is a recoverable expense.

    His bike and helmet, along with medical expenses. Anything beyond that, you will have to talk to a lawyer that can fully review the case and advise you if the settlement offer is good or not.
