You may have a suit. It depends on whether the surgeon's performance was negligent, and whether you have suffered significant damages as a result. To successfully sue for malpractice, you need three things: 1. Evidence that the doctor/nurse deviated from acceptable standards of due care, either by act or omission. This is also referred to as negligence. A bad outcome, in of itself, is not evidence of negligence. You need a doctor to testify that the doctor/nurse was negligent. 2. Evidence that the negligence cause some harm. 3. Significant damages. If the negligence caused minor damages, it would not be economically feasible to bring a ,malpractice case, because the cost in expert witness fees would exceed your damages. I know some malpractice attorneys who require at least $500,000 in medical bills or lost wages caused by the negligence before they will consider the case. You will need a medical opinion as to whether the doctor was negligent, and as to whether the negligence caused the problems you have had since the original surgery. Furthermore, if the problems can be fixed, then your damages may not be significant enough to justify a suit.

They probably cannot make you pay the towing bill since you did not drive the car, or give permission for it to be driven. However, if you want the car back, you would have to pay the bill. I think who has title has less to do with it than the fact that the driver did not have permission.

Your insurance company is obligated to defend you for free. If the people in your car are good witnesses to the accident, then pass their names along to your insurance company.
