    I don't see why not.  If you were negligent or circumvented the process somehow, sure.

    Just like if someone is licensed, say an electrician - if they screw up and cause a fire, yes they can be sued.  Whether it is them personally or their insurance I think will depend on whether they are negligent or not.

    Not legal advice here.

    Most states have a 3 year statute of limitations on issues like this. If yours does, should be easy to get the suit dismissed.
