Yes, unless he signed a general release. He may also be able to sue for pain, suffering and permanency of the injury.

If the insurance company already has knowledge of the $57,000 bill you may be able to obtain additional money from the insurance company in 'bad faith'. which is usually amounts to better chance on collecting then trying to collect from an individual.
If you have any questions about bad faith, please feel free to call.
