Is there a law that says the party at fault has to respond in a timely manner?

This is so as to avoid additional claims for loss of use or diminished value due to depreciation. If you have coverage under your own policy, you can use that to get it repaired.

Your brother may make a claim against the person that struck him. He may also make claim against the homeowner, if there is a factual and legal basis to support liability. If that claim were to be successful, the homeowner's insurance would then be a source to obtain payment. Your brother should discuss this matter with a personal injury attorney in his jurisdiction.
