More details to this question:
Someone ran a red night and hit my brother in a car accident. The woman’s insurance policy is only for 100,000 and my brothers medical bills already exceed that plus he is facing 2 additional surgeries. Is there anything that can be done to ensure his expenses will be covered? He did not have car insurance or health insurance as he just lost his job.

no unless your brother has a UM policy or the at fault driver has assets that can be recovered. His counsel should prepare a letter demanding that the at fault driver execute an affidavit of all assets and liabilities under penalty of perjury and also provide your brother with several years of tax returns before he will sign a release that releases the Ins Co and the at fault driver
