That said, keep it up. No one else has the balls.
FTE has far more civil experience than I.
The right to sue is important. Those of you who have said it can help right wrongs are spot on. That said, it (like any right) can be abused. There are greedy people out there, there are folks who do not take responsibility for their own actions, but there are good and decent folks that suffer injury at the hands of negligent people and companies and they should be made whole.
Insurance companies can bring suit when they pay out money to a policy holder under the subrogation part of the policy. They essentially stand in the shoes of the injured person and bring suit to recover what they paid out.
One of the posts correctly pointed out the litigation is so expensive these days that winning can indeed bankrupt you. If you have insurance, the policy provides a defense for you at the expense of the insurance company (although the amount paid can reduce the available amount of insurance under the terms of some policies). That is one of the big plusses in favor of having liability insurance.

No need to hate on someone due to your mis-comprehension of thier point.
There's nothing more expensive than a cheap lawyer.

I'm more sorry for the underlying situation than the lawsuit, but the hard thing is that litigation rarely helps anyone feel better even if they win, unless reinforcing revenge is "better," but that sort of bitterness rarely is satisfied. Business stuff can be different, but personal and emotional things with individuals can be tough, especially when the economic system you're in doesn't have a very good safety net for people who are incapacitated by someone else's inexcusable mistake.
People who are wrongly injured have rights to relief. We have a court system that sorts that out, even if we can pluck out examples that make us scratch our heads. I don't really have the energy to figure out a better system that doesn't come down to someone having to decide if someone hurt someone else and doesn't have an excuse for it. Not that wouldn't require looking at things differently in a way people in the country increasingly are incapable of.
You have to chalk it up to shit that jus' sucks.
This is a case where a thief has a right to tell his story, the homeowner did something illegal to them, and yes, they should be punished by the law for thievery, but they should also receive a fair chance to tell their story. Just because they are a thief, doesn't give you the right to kill them for example (or chop off their nuts), even if you think they deserve it. That isn't your decision to make and it shouldn't be either.
I am curious to what happened to your buddy though, it is EXTREMELY rare for a thief to actually win a suit for something like this unless your buddy went above and beyond some sort of reasonable punishment/detainment.
