They won't get anymore than whatever his liability insurance coverage
provides.

Nah. IF his insurer gets everyone to settle, yes, but no jury is
required to stay within the limits of somebody's insurance, sheesh! The
award would be for actual damages (e.g. medical costs, or in this case,
replacement value of homes and possessions) and may include punitive
damages as well.

IF he carried excess/umbrella liability, he MIGHT be covered up to the
$1M-$5M range. Beyond that, he's on his own, and may be facing bankruptcy.
