Yes, you may: if someone negligently (that is, carelessly) or deliberately damages your property, they are liable for the lesser of the repair or replacement cost. You can sue the person for your actual cost to have the windshield replaced (and if you have to rent a car for a day or two while that is done, for your rental costs).
