Perhaps a small-claims lawsuit could recompense your suffering? There might be some law that absolves them from liability, but they would have to show up to argue the point, and they can’t send in the lawyers.
I have considered this, but it seemed not worth the risk given the expense of a lawyer. I’m not an expert on this at all though, so I could be wrong. I had mostly assumed the odds of winning something like that were low because what they did seems to be legitimate even though it sucks.
Lawyers are not typically allowed in small claims court. Individuals represent themselves, and businesses send a representative who is not a lawyer. Often, larger businesses fail to send a representative. The plaintiff still has to convince the judge they have a case, but it's easier without opposition.
