MY gosh, get him to a Florida Personal Injury lawyer or auto accident lawyer immediately. It is insane to deal with an insurance company by yourself when there is serious personal injury.
Even if the driver's insurance company throws in the policy limits, as they seem to be doing here, there may be other sources of recovery, and the medical bills often can be negotiated downward, leaving more for your son.
If there is little prospect for collecting more, an auto accident lawyer will tell you quickly; just make sure you don't agree to pay the lawyer if s/he can not better the current offer. AttorneyPages.com lists many terrific Florida auto accident, insurance and personal injury lawyers.
