We were driving home from the hospital after my 2 yr old was in the icu for a few days and a man piloting an experimental/home built air craft, crashed and we were hit with all the debri and ran alot of it over damaging our car. The family of the pilot who died agreed over the phone to pay the damages to our car. We got an estimate, they did not agree with and are now refusing to pay. We have now grown impatient with the situation. Any input would be appreciated. What can we sue for...I know the damages, time off of work. Anything else? We did not want to put this family through this after loosing a son, giving them every opportunity to just settle with us for the body work of the car..but they are not worried about our family and I am now ready to get what we deserve.

And yes...for those who do not see my side. I am going to sue. I didn't ask to be HIT BY A PLANE. All I wanted was my car fixed. Of course I feel bad they lost a family member...their family member who recklessly (without insurance) almost KILLED MY FAMILY! Which thank god they ONLY damaged my car.

They've lost a family member, and you're now going to sue them because you ran over some debris and damaged your car.
Nice people.

Generally, yes, you can sue the estate for your damages. But your damages do not include "time off from work" under the circumstances you describe.

It seems like you may have a right to suit if you can prove your case. Speak with a lawyer.
