How did they garnish his wages without having a court involved? They would had to have sued him already in court.

    I think he was served papers at one point around the 3-4 year mark, but just told the hospital he wasn't going to pay since they already had agreed in writing he didn't have to pay. He never went to court. I don't know the exact process, it was never explained to my brother in law, but given they had a valid, unpaid bill of 8 years (and multiple attempts to get him to pay on record) was enough?

    Yeah, that's a default judgement then. If you're served, you need to respond, or else the judge declares in favor of the plaintiff.
