Legal Question in Personal Injury in Kentucky

I was assaulted with a knife last year and suffered a fracture trapezium, severed nerve, severed artery, and two severed tendons. The offending party was a legal adult, 18, but it occurred on his father's property, so I currently have attorneys pursuing a suit against his insurance company. After he cut me, he called the police and told them it was a suicide attempt. I have gone to the police department several times trying to get a criminal warrant and was not even told that there was a self injury report until about the fifth time going to them. I also cannot get the information needed to file the criminal warrant because he is the one that made the phone and thus is the only party that the info can be released to. I am positive that the monetary damages will far exceed the amount that the insurance company is required to pay. If the judge decides that I am to be paid more than this, what are my options to receive this if he is unable to pay the extra sum (almost certain that this is the case) or if I send him to prison and does not have wages to garnish? Also his father did not even contact the insurance company until I left a note regarding this incident on his porch and has not once contacted me, so I'm wondering if I can in anyway pursue some sort of negligence case against his father? What are my options as far as pursuing a case against the police department?
