Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Illinois

Hello

My dog bit someone while she was unlawfully in our yard. Of course we still got hit with a HEFTY $20,000.00 penalty (too big to be a fine). The land lord of the property has refused to turn over her Home Owner insurance policy. Can I go after her for the policy and can I sue the lady for trespassing. Please help Keha Ireland
