Depends on your state.
Some states you immediately lose the entire bond amount. In California you can
get re-instated and get back on calendar (another court date) and put it behind you.
Either way depends on your states laws.

Can the bail bondsman sue the bonding person for the total of the bail bond?
I believe that the terminology used in the question is mixed up. The bailbondsman IS the bonding person. If the defendant he has posted bail for absconds on him, the bond he posted is forfeited to the court, and he certainly CAN sue both the defendant AND anyone else who signed the bail contract, for the recovery of his lost bond.Another alternative is for him to send a "bail-agent" (bounty hunter) after the defendant. If he returns the absconding defendant to the court, that is the only way he can recover his money from the court, but he still may sue to recover his costs of hiring the bail agent out to recover the absconder..

Is the person who hires a bail bondsman responsible for the whole bail amount if the defendant fails their obligation?
When a Bail Bond Company writes a bond, they are responsible for the bond amount if the defendant fails to appear. The indemnitor (person who gives collateral for the bond) is responsible to the extent that they will lose whatever they gave the bondsman for collateral if the bond is forfeited. That is why bond agencies try to find the defendant and bring him to jail before the bond forfeiture hearing, so they do not have to pay the courts the amount of the bond. Bond companies pay the courts in CASH regardless of what type of collateral was used for the bond.
What does set for bond forfeiture mean in court?
"Set for bond forfeiture" in court refers to a scheduled hearing where the court will determine whether a defendant's bail bond should be forfeited due to their failure to appear for a scheduled court date or failure to comply with other conditions of their release. If the court finds that the defendant did not meet the conditions, it can order the bond amount to be forfeited, meaning the money or property put up as collateral for the bail is lost. This process is part of ensuring accountability for defendants to appear in court as required.
