Without reviewing the insurance polices, generally the liability carrier will pay for the lesser of the the cost of repairs or the value of the vehicle (used). You need to have a lawyer look at the insurance policies as well as review your damages and any further legal actions. If the driver was arrested, the court might order restitution to you. There may be a cause of action against the parents. That attorney will need to review the settlement you made with the insurance carrier.
