More details to this question:
owned the car and should be ultimately responsible for he insurance of the vehicle. My insurance company only tries to collect for 6 months and after that, they no longer pursue recovery and my "uninsured motorist" insurance bears the costs of the repairs (and I pay the deductible).

If the daughter who was driving the car was using the car for a family purpose, you may be able to sue the owner of the car (mother) under the "family purpose doctrine." In the meantime, you certainly should use your Uninsured Motorist coverage under your auto policy to obtain compensation for your sons' injuries. These days, the assistance of a good attorney is always necessary to ensure that a victim receives the maximum fair compensation allowed by law from any insurance company.
