You cannot sue former employers simply for giving bad references. However, you can sue them if they outright lie about major things, for example claim that you were a thief or an alcoholic. You would then be able to sue them for defamation or slander if you can prove that the statements are untrue.

Your previous employer is preventing you from getting a job by saying bad things about you to potential employers what can you do?
If you were a good employee, but had a misunderstanding with your former employer you should have tried to get a Letter of Recommendation. It's tough to prove that your former employer is saying anything bad about you so there is little you can do. I don't know how long you worked before, but, if it was just a year or two then on your Resume just skip the last job if you can. I have done that. If they ask just say you took the year off. If I don't trust the former employer I will choose a Supervisor or another person with a position in that company for the next possible employer to contact.

Can legal action be taken against the employer that gives a bad reference?
The only things that a previous employer can say are #1- if you are re-hirable and #2 - what dates you were employed there. The problem is that in order to take legal action you have to be able to 100% PROVE that the previous employer said more than that. An employer can give a negative reference for a former employee if they wish to, but they are not required to. The employer may be exposed to liability, or at least to the expense and distraction of a lawsuit, if it gives such a reference. The former employee may allege that the information provided was false or misleading. The burden of proof would be on the employee to prove what the employer said and how it was defamatory. Truth is a defense to the employer. For this reason, many employers have policies prohibiting giving any reference, positive or negative, and will only confirm the dates of your employment and last title. Some employers may disclose if you are re-hirable, but a non-answer or negative answer to this question could again expose the employer to claims.
