If, and this is a big if, you can prove that she sued you for damages not caused by this incident, AND you either get her to dismiss her claim without a release of claims on your part, or you go through trial and win, again because of proof the damages were not caused by this incident, you could possibly sue her for wrongful institution of civil litigation. (sometimes referred to as malicious prosecution.) Courts disfavor such lawsuits but they do exist and it is a viable cause of action, but you MUST have a favorable outcome on her suit before you could proceed.

If I understand your facts, it looks like you have a case against the person who drove off with the gas nozzle, for sure. Since you may not know who that person is, & that may not be an insured event under his motor vehicle policy, that probably doesn't help. Whether you have a case against the gas station depends on many facts, that will not become clear until a thorough investigation. It is usually difficult to obtain a lawyer to help you with this type case unless your damages (severity of your injury) is catastrophic.

There is potential liability on your landlord in a situation like this.  However, more facts would need to be known to truly assess if a lawyer would be able to help you out.  While landlords do have some duty/responsibility to keep a premiss safe, they don't have an absolute obligation.
