I am going to assume that the driver did not have sufficient insurance, or they have decided not to defend him for one reason or another.

You may want to speak with an attorney who practices in this area before agreeing to a low settlement. If he has signed a settlement agreement, you should be able to file suit on the settlement agreement. Our office handles cases like these frequently, and I would be happy to speak with you about it briefly.
