Talk to a lawyer anyway, you can get more for sure!
I hope your boy is okay

Well by the way you described the injuries and the spelling mistakes I can safely say that you are not going to be your best negotiator for a fair settlement.
Do not sign any settlement agreements and get yourself to an attorney for your son's sake.
There should be Medpay or PIP on your insurance and if there isn't then the medical bills will have to be eventually be paid by you through this settlement.
Again get to an attorney and let them handle future medical treatment for your son and the eventual settlement. It is too early to settle and you need legal representation.
From a senior liability claims adjuster.

Never rule out more extensive damage to the body after a car wreck. Sometimes it can take a year or more for the body to heal or things showing up. I would make 100% sure your child is okay, you are okay, no future pains or problems that may be ahead. $4,000 sure isn't much when you look at all you pay out for insurance. I would talk to an attorney!

How about asking the claims adjuster for more money. Advise them you want $10,000 or what ever you feel is reasonable. If his medical bills are around $3,500-$4,000, and if it was a bad accident and all of his injuries were directly related to the accident, then I would ask for more BEFORE you speak to an attorney. An attorney will take up to 40% of what ever you settle for. so try to get more out of the claims adjuster before you go to the attorney. Ask for $15,000. and see what they say. What could it hurt? and you might end up ahead.

I would go ahead and speak to an attorney. The injuries your son has are permanent, it will not be broke forever, but there is a good possibility that he will have problems with it for the rest of his life. Good Luck and I hope your son gets better soon.

getting a lawyer will cost you a lot but it might be worth it just make sure to get one that you don't have to pay until you get payed. you also want more then then just the medical bills you want them to pay for the damaged to your car.

Learn English or a lawyer will take advantage of your stupidity.
