Yes. You can sue someone who has falsely accused you of theft. Whether or not you should sue someone who has falsely accused you of theft depends on a number of circumstances. It depends on how the accusations started, the conditions under which they occurred, how far the accusations got, and what the law says.

In Florida, if a merchant catches you shoplifting and you dispose of the property before the cops come, you can not sue under the law. If you bring a lawsuit, you lose your $250 for bringing the case to court. You paid $250 to hear the judge say, "Case dismissed."
