Anyone can sue for anything, any time. Whether you have a strong case, no case at all, damages, no damages, or any chance at recovery, are based on the facts, We don't know them, and you chose to not tell us. See a lawyer or two, and listen to what they say about your case.

Probably, but whether it makes sense depends on how things happened, how big your medical bills are, and whether he has any assets. Discuss that with a lawyer.
