Guy Stole My Phone Out Of My Hand, I Drove After Him And Got Fired. Can I Sue Him?

I work for a third-party company that does delivery work for a large retailer. I was driving in my delivery van when this guy drove up on my left side and started screaming his head off at me. Apparently I stopped too late out of a cul-de-sac sort of in the middle of the road and he had to drive around me. He threw his hands up as he drove past me, I did too, and he got even more angry and basically lost his mind. His teenage kid was in the car with him too just watching the whole thing.

He got out of the car and kept screaming at me. I just stayed silent and I held up my iPhone (personal phone, not company phone) to try to record him for my own safety. I wasn't able to record because I was in a phone call but I did snap some good pictures of him. In a matter of mere moments though he went up to my Van window and just grabbed the phone right out of my hand. He ran back to his car and drove off.

I followed him in my van, and used my company phone to call 911. I explained the situation as I drove after him. I kept driving after him, admittedly I was going over the speed limit and not stopping at some stop signs because he was doing the same while trying to get away. The 911 operator kept telling me just to stop and pull over, but I was so angry and upset because I have pictures on that phone of my dead girlfriend who passed away very recently that I don't have backed up anywhere else, as well as a bunch of our texts. Not to mention a bunch of other important information like my credit card and social security info.

I eventually did pull over after the operator told me to enough times. The police showed up at his house later, but he wasn't home, despite his kid that was in the car with being home. They got statements from his wife and kid about what they knew, which wasn't much. As far as I know the police haven't followed up in the past 5 days since the incident happened. I am still waiting for the police report that they said will take up to 15 business days to be ready. But they told me he was charged with disorderly conduct and criminal damage. Also apparently while he was driving away at one point he threw my phone out his window, I didn't see this happen but whoever's yard it landed in returned it to the police station and I was able to pick it up.

After my company watched the video footage from the delivery van I was fired a couple days later for my unsafe driving. I have no severance and I have very few other prospects of employment right now in my town.

He more or less made me lose my job, he damaged my iPhone glass screen that will cost $500+ to repair, and he put me through pretty much the most stressful situation of my life that. Do I have a viable lawsuit again him for any of this, or anything else?
