"Intention" is a matter of opinion. If I were handling the case, I would just take the position that the driver was negligent (thereby keeping his insurance in the picture) and then go for punitive damages for gross negligence. Consult with a GA attorney.

If the act was intentional the insurance company is not liable, however, there may be a claim against the person for punitive damages. Whether or not a lawyer decides to accept your case depends on whether the person who hit your husband has assets and is collectable.
