Does an attorney have a right to place some of your settlement funds in esrow for medical bills that were not paid by the insurance company,?

If an attorney receives money in trust, he has an ethical obligation to protect the claims of third parties who may have a valid interest in those funds.  When you settled, he received money in compensation of your claims which included medical expenses not covered by PIP.   This is not to say he has to hold the money in perpetuity.  At some point, he needs to be proactive in requiring the third party (your radiologist) to take reasonable action to collect the money.  The fact your lawyer didn't sign a letter of protection doesn't release him from an ethical and legal obligation.  From what you describe, it seems that a letter from the radiologist to the lawyer allowing him to release his escrow to you should be enough.  You can call the Florida Bar in Tallahassee and speak to a staff ethics lawyer.  They probably have an advisory opinion for situations like this.

What can we do if we received a court summons for a lawsuit when we were uninsured in car accident?

Your license will be suspended until you pay the amount of the final judgment, and so will your husband's license. That is unless you hire an attorney for this case, which you say that you cannot afford. This is exactly what happens when someone does not have insurance on their vehicle, or when it lapses, even though you think that you have a valid excuse and even though you think that there were no injuries or damage.
