Legal Question in Personal Injury in Florida

auto claim

I signed off on the gentlemen Insurance who caused accident for $100,000. this is not nearly enough for my injuries since I have to have another operation. I was a passager in the car and have no car insurance since I do not own an auto. My medical insurance picked up some of my medical. Can I sue the person in a civil court, since he did not fill his affidavate out, and lawyer only did an asset check of home and auto.
