There are a few things to consider. 

Winning a lawsuit and actually collecting are 2 entirely different
things. In your case you filed against a big company that has money.
They're more likely to pay than say, Joe Schmo with not much cash.

The legal system is easily minupulated. Delays can be endless if the
defendant wants to do it that way and has the know how in making it
happen. (Even in small claims court.) This is a tactic used to get the
"Out of court" settlement  for much less than you deserve only to get
closure on the ordeal. 

The bottom line is, the pud that drove the car and damaged said vehicle
should be a man about it and pay for HIS mistake. I do think that your
friend had a good lawsuit if he decides to go that route. After all, its
the California thing to do. Oh wait, first you sue, then you demand
reimbursement. I remember now!
