If your son is interested in making a claim for pain and suffering, then you should definitely speak to an experienced personal injury attorney in your area. If you have uninsurance on your policy, you would be able to make a claim through your own policy just as if you were making a claim against the at fault party. Uninsurance covers hit and runs, uninsured vehicles, and stolen vehicles.
