Big question for you to answer is: If you win and he has to pay you for your damages, how does he pay? Your neighbor's insurance coverage excludes intentional acts, So, a lawsuit against him may not be the answer.

Second alternative is the Crime Victims act if he has been charged with a crime. Google it and fill out the forms and send them in. They will not pay for Pain or Impairment, but they will for medical and wage loss. Good luck.
