Sometimes, yes. And this is one of many reasons you need a good lawyer.
Some but not all insurance carries a right to reimbursement. Even if it does, how the settlement is structured and whether it makes you whole affects the answer.
Even if there is a right in your case a good lawyer may negotiate the number downwards.
