Well if you know who hit your fence, immediately contact the police and file a hit and run report. Identify the individual and then contact the neighbor and indicate he or she must give his or her homeowner's insurance information and car insurance information usually the police might be able to get something) and indicate you intend on filing a claim after you obtain three estimates.
