Yes, you may sue your neighbor for destroying your fence. Your proof would be a valid survey, photographs that show the fence is on your property as per the survey and "not falling or loose", testimony that the survey is true and accurate and your own testimony about the value of the fence, (get estimates for replacement costs.)
