Oh I would most definitely contact a lawyer. His insurance company have lawyers and you are going to need one.

No question about it. You need an experineced personal injury lawyer. Besides bringing a claim against the driver and that insurnace carrier, you may have claims against other - the car manufacturer for example, if some safety feature failed - or the last business to sell the driver alcohol (under laws commonly refered to as Dram Shop acts). There may be other potential claims as well - a good personal injury lawyer will know what to look for and how to gather and preserve evidence.

I would contact a lawyer to see what your legal options are. Most give initial consultations for free.
Though honestly I don't know what options you do have your son willing got into a car with a drunk driver.

Yes. Do it now before the drivers insurace company tries to railroad you into settling for a paltry sum. Find a good reputable attorney. Not a TV ambulance chaser. You and your son will probably need the money.

You most definitely need a lawyer to advocate for your son in this situation.

reckless imprudence resulting to injuries. you can sue the driver and the owner of the car. if the driver is a minor then you can also sue the parents.
