Can a broken USB port on a verbatim 500gb 3.0 be repaired and can data be saved?

Thank you. And yes...the data is more important. I am NOT very gadget friendly but my son sat on the cord and broke the port. It is now inside the hard drive so the drive itself is ok. Now as for this data recovery program, you said it's free? Well where do I get it and how do I install it if the drive cannot be connected to anything?
