Probably not, but you can go after his estate if he has one.
Bankruptcy would only relieve him from his debt if it was only a civil case.
You should speak with a Bankruptcy attorney, if the award is large enough and he has assets, you might be able to file for involuntary bankruptcy, where his assets would be assigned to a trustee and sold to pay his debt.

Apparently the man had no liability insurance and no assets to satisfy the judgment.
The judgment is probably recorded of record, so that would mean it would show up in his credit report any time he would want to borrow money. It could keep him from getting a loan. If he wins the lottery or receives an inheritance, it would be an opportunity to collect.
This question will probably be best answered by the personal injury attorney who brought the suit against the man. A judgment is only as good as the ability to collect upon it.
This is a civil matter. You can't send him to debtor's prison.

If he doesn't have the money than you can't get any. It just makes his credit score horrible. He can file for bankruptcy any way. Than he'll never have to pay it.

I believe that if he ever sells a home, a car, or any other major property he owns the money will go to you. Other than that, you're kind of screwed. I'm sorry.

ALL HE HAS TO DO IS FILE FOR BANKRUPTCY AND THE DEPT WILL BE CLEARED LEGALLY. THEIR ISN'T MUCH YOU CAN DO. YOU CAN'T GET BLOOD FROM A ROCK. CHANCES ARE THAT YOU WILL NEVER GET ANY COMPENSATION. HE WILL HAVE A BLEMISH ON HIS CREDIT REPORT. WHY ISN'T HE IN PRISON?

are you serious what do you think the answer to this question is. Is the government paying prisoners now, please. do you think he really cares about his financial or legal responsibilities when he has no Morales, or maybe you just did not put enough information about the case

You can't bleed blood oout of a turnip! if you can't pay you can't pay. More than likely you won't see a dime and there isn't much you can do!

If he has a job, you can get a court order to garnish his wages.
