What to do if a car drove through my store barely missing 4 people inside and causing damage at an estimated cost of $160 ,000?

My business is suffering waiting to get back as we were. We are insured. The person who drove through the store has auto insurance; I have learned she was being treating with psychological drugs and should not have been driving in her condition. My insurer is handling my losses but it’s slow going. Do I have any recourse to go after this woman for any pain, suffering,extra work it has caused me, stress, worry and potential loss of business this has caused me?
