If you're talking about his or her insurance company, then probably not since it's customary for the insurance company to get subrogation rights in exchange for payment. The insurance company can certainly sue you but they don't always do so.

OTOH, if your insurance made the payment then absolutely not unless your insurance company is incompetent. Insurers always make claimants waive all future legal remedies arising from that claim before paying. The claim is considered settled in full.

Yes, a neighbor can still sue you for damages even if your insurance has paid out. Insurance coverage does not prevent individuals from pursuing legal action against you if they believe you are responsible for the damages incurred. It is important to consult with a legal professional to understand your rights and options in such a situation.
