I son was riding his bicycle at an intersection where he proceeded through as he did not see a car coming (bushes in the way). The vehicle driver also did not see him due to the bushes and they collided. The driver's auto insurance is stating they want to settle, but only have $100,000 from the policy. Can you only get the personal injury insurance amount is? Currently my son has over $32,000 in medical bills.

Who owns the Bushes?

If it was neglected, overgrown and a hazard,the owner could possibly be sued as well.

Takes lots of pictures of it....

You could sue for more however if they do not have it chances are your son will never collect. I would look into the bushes as being responsible. As Goob says, take photos and see an attorney. Did your son have a stop sign and did he stop? Even though he was on a bike he still is required to adhere to all street signs, etc.
