Answer
Hi Perry,

In most cases the insurance follows the vehicle not the driver or passengers. So in this case it would by your sons insurance that would be in play. In some circumstances you may be able to claim some injuries on your own policy, however, you would need to discuss that with your insurance company or a local attorney.

I hope this helps
