No matter how great their loss is, it doesn't mean that you didn't also lose out. In addition, if was their son's own fault and if he can't compensate you, then his parents should. THis is an extension of two wrongs don't make a right, in which a great wrong does not negate a smaller wrong.
It partly depends on what caused the accident. Was it the cause of your friend, the cause of another person, or just an unavoidable accident? Either way, it isn't really the responsibility of your friend's parents, unless your friend is under 18 I suppose.
If your insurance doesn't cover damage when someone else is driving it then you shouldn't have lent your car out to anyone.
Oh man... R.I.P. Silverado, you'll be missed.
